Which hormone promotes the secretion of antidiuretic hormone?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin stimulates the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the posterior pituitary gland. This is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which regulates blood pressure by controlling water and electrolyte balance. Aldosterone promotes the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, but it does not directly stimulate the release of ADH. Renin is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II, the active form that causes vasoconstriction and stimulates ADH release. Androgen is a group of hormones that includes testosterone and is not directly involved in the regulation of water balance. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Angiotensin.
