Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is a hormone produced in the brain that helps regulate the body's water balance. When your body is dehydrated or blood pressure is low, ADH is released into the bloodstream. It signals the kidneys to retain water, reducing urine output and helping to keep the body hydrated. Additionally, ADH constricts blood vessels, which can raise blood pressure. Overall, ADH plays a crucial role in ensuring that your body maintains the right amount of water, contributing to overall health and stability of bodily functions.
