Translations:ADH, antidiuretisches Hormon, Vasopressin/2/en

ADH is formed in the hypothalamus, transported to the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland and released into the bloodstream by various regulatory mechanisms.
ADH has an antidiuretic effect by promoting water reabsorption in the distal tubules as well as in the collecting tubes of the kidney. This causes the body to lose as little water as possible. The vasopressor effect of ADH leads to arterial vasoconstriction and thus to an increase in blood pressure. The ADH distribution is controlled within the framework of the osmoregulatory system.
