Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased solute concentration of body fluids stimulates the hypothalamus to release vasopressin or ADH. Vasopressin acts on the kidneys and regulates the reabsorption of water, thereby reducing the loss of water in urine. This helps the body to maintain its water balance and prevents dehydration.
