The posterior lobe stores and releases oxytocin and vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone ( ADH ), which are produced in the hypothalamus.
22.
Alcohol causes the osmoreceptors to signal that there is low osmotic pressure in the blood, which triggers an inhibition of the antidiuretic hormone.
23.
The ostrich also experiences an increase in haematocrit, resulting in a antidiuretic hormone ( ADH ) which targets the nephrons of the kidney.
24.
At about sunset each day, the body releases a minute burst of antidiuretic hormone ( also known as arginine vasopressin or AVP ).
25.
Finally, 10 25 % develop diabetes insipidus, the inability to retain fluid in the kidneys due to a lack of the pituitary antidiuretic hormone.
26.
This occurs because alcohol confuses osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, which relay osmotic pressure information to the posterior pituitary, the site of antidiuretic hormone release.
27.
The researchers determined that the rats failed to produce vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone, and they gave the rats to Dartmouth Medical School ( DMS ).
28.
Vasopressin is a peptide hormone whose main function is to retain water in the body, and is also known as "'antidiuretic hormone "'( "'ADH "').
29.
Most likely these people have the Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone which is common and is treated with water restriction like that which you mention.
30.
Alcohol inhibits the action of an antidiuretic hormone on the kidneys, so they remove more water from the blood flowing through them than they normally would.
