This hormone is involved in increasing the reabsorption of water. What is the hormone called?
A
ADHD
B
Aldosterone
C
ADH
D
Secretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland . It acts chiefly on nephrons and helps to increase the reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -ADH primarily affects the ability of the kidney to reabsorb water; when present, ADH induces expression of water transport proteins in the late distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. Several disease states arise when the body loses control of ADH secretion or responds to its presence.
