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.
The Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH) is a protein secreted by the pituitary gland, which conserves body water by reducing the output of water in urine; it does this by promoting the reabsorbtion of water back into the bloodstream from the second convoluted tubule and collection ducts, resulting in water.smoreceptors in the brain detects a change in the osmotic concentration of the blood and send or stops sending ADH to act appropriately to restore normal water levels by adjusting the amount of water reabsorbed. Aldosterone is a hormone that helps maintain the Sodium and Potassium ion balance in the blood.
