ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to a rise in the concentration of electrolytes in the blood, or in response to a fall in blood volume or blood pressure. Its main function is to increase water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to a decrease in urine output and an increase in blood volume and pressure.
