Antidiuretic hormone (ADH):
It is a hormone that stimulates the kidneys to release less water, reducing the amount of urine generated.
ADH is also called vasopressin.
It is made in the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland.
ADH promotes the reabsorption of water and electrolytes from the kidney's distal convoluted tubules.
