Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.asopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
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.
