Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which the kidneys are unable to prevent the excretion of water. The amount of water excreted in the urine is controlled by antidiuretic hormone (ADH). It is caused by a lack of ADH is called central diabetes insipidus. When it is caused by a failure of the kidneys to respond to ADH, the condition is called as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), also known as corticotropin, is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone (mineralocorticoid) produced by the outer section (zona glomerulosa) of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland.

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which blood sugar (glucose) levels are abnormally high because the body does not produce enough insulin to meet its needs.

Testosterone acts as an efficacious vasodilator in the human pulmonary vasculature, with dilatation observed at physiological concentrations in the male arterial resistance bed.
