Part of that extra thickness is caused by the protein keratin, which is nourished in deeper layers of the skin but forms a surface layer of dead cells on the epidermis. This extra thickness may also explain why your hands and feet become wrinkled when you soak in the tub.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water the kidneys reabsorb while they are filtering wastes out of the blood. This test measures the amount of ADH in the blood.
ADH stands for Anti diuretic hormone also known as Vasopressin. It is a peptide hormone that controls the re-absorption of molecules in the tubules of the kidneys by affecti â¦ ng the tissue's permeability. it also increase peripheral vascular resistance which in turn increase arterial blood pressure.he concentration of solutes in the blood stimulates the release of  ADH or antidiuretic hormone. This is referred to as the plasma  osmolarity.
