The antidiuretic hormone is secreted by hypophysis (also termed as pituitary) and it acts in the nephron tubules raising the resorption of water. Whenever the body requires retaining water, for illustration, in cases of blood loss and abrupt blood pressure lowering or in situations of abnormally high blood osmolarity, there is stimulus for the ADH secretion.

Whenever the body has a surplus of water, as in situations of extreme ingestion or in unusually low blood osmolarity, the secretion of ADH is blocked and diuresis rises. ADH is also termed as vasopressin as it raises the blood volume and therefore heightens the blood pressure.
