Question

During summer season, which hormone concentration is maintained at high level?

• A. Insulin
• B. Vasopressin
• C. Oxytocin
• D. Corticoid

Answer 1

The correct option is B Vasopressin

During the summer season, The hormone whose concentration is maintained at a high level is Vasopressin or ADH(antidiuretic hormone). When excess water is lost through urine the blood volume is decreased and its osmolarity is increased which stimulates the posterior pituitary to release ADH.ADH decreases the volume of urine by increasing the reabsorption of water by kidneys and prevents diuresis. Hence it is also called antidiuretic hormone.

So, the correct answer is 'Vasopressin'.
