Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases water reabsorption and vasoconstriction, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Renin is released in response to low blood pressure and initiates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, leading to increased sodium reabsorption and vasoconstriction, also leading to an increase in blood pressure. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is released in response to high blood pressure and promotes sodium and water excretion, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Thyroid and calcitonin do not directly regulate blood pressure.
