ADH is released in response to dehydration and low blood pressure, increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys and causing vasoconstriction (vasopressin).
Η ADH απελευθερώνεται σε απόκριση αφυδάτωσης και χαμηλής αρτηριακής πίεσης, αυξάνοντας την επαναρρόφηση νερού στα νεφρά και προκαλώντας αγγειοσύσπαση (βαζοπρεσίνη).
