Ethyl Alcohol prevents the secretion of Anti-diuretic hormone from the the posterior pituitary, resulting in water and sodium loss and subsequent diuresis.

What substances inhibit Antidiuretic hormone secretion?
Any stimulant (things that increase your mental or physical capability such as caffeine's ability to make one energized and alert) or depressor (something that has a negative mental or physical effect such as alcohol) will inhibit AdH secretion. Due to this inhibition, you will not be able to absorb any of the helpful nutrients in your urine. This is why when you drink alcohol and caffeine, you will experience a larger urine volume as well as dehydration from the lack of absorbed water. Hope this helps
A substance secreted by cells or glands that have a regulatory effect in the body?
That is called a hormone. It is an organic secretion
What is the effect of antidiuretic hormone on potassium concentration and excretion?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) decreases the amount of sodium in your body and when ever sodium levels go down potassium levels go up (same is true for visa versa) so the amount of Potassium should increase when there is an increase in ADH.
What hormone normally has a more significant effect on blood calcium levels in adults?
parathyroid hormone
What directly antagonizes the effect of calcitonin?
parathyroid hormone
What substances inhibit Antidiuretic hormone secretion?

What does an increase in blood alcohol level do to your ADH?
An increase in in blood alcohol level will, if high enough, reduce the secretion of anti diuretic hormone (ADH), witch will in turn effect the kidneys ability to reasorb water in the tubules.
A substance secreted by cells or glands that have a regulatory effect in the body?
That is called a hormone. It is an organic secretion
What is negative feedback in your bodies?
Self-regulating system; information about effect of hormone that is fed back to gland, which then decreases secretion of that hormone; most common method of regulation
What is the effect of antidiuretic hormone on potassium concentration and excretion?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) decreases the amount of sodium in your body and when ever sodium levels go down potassium levels go up (same is true for visa versa) so the amount of Potassium should increase when there is an increase in ADH.
What are characteristic of hormones?
Hormones are the chemicals which are produced by glands. By definition they pour there secretion/secretions in blood. Blood carry the secretion through circulation to target organ/ organs for desired effect. Usually target organ sends back the message to reduce the secretion of the hormone producing gland. This is called as negative feed back effect. (Like thyroid stimulating orAdrenocorticotrophic hormone by anterior pituitary gland.) Sometimes hormone like Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates ovarian follicle. Which in turn produces hormone estrogen. Main female hormone. Thyroid hormones increase the 'basal metabolic rate' of body.
What is the effect of too much secretion of promine in the body?
since promine is the hormone in the body which promotes growth, the possible effect of this is that you will get this, "Growth hormone deficiency (GHD)" it is where you officially grows fast or grows a little...you could check the meaning of GHD in the wiki..
What was the effect of propylthiouracil?
PTU reduces the amount of T3 thyroid hormone in the blood by reducing its secretion from the thyroid and by decreasing the peripheral conversion of T4 to T3.
How does increased plasma levels of antidiuretic hormone effect blood pressure?
In a nutshell, Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the kidneys to retain water instead of excreting it. In your case, because the amount of ADH is increased, the amount of water retained in the body is also increased. The increased water enters blood vessels and increases blood pressure. (Like water in a pipe~more fluid=more pressure) Hope this helped!
What may infantile spasms be caused by?
One theory states that the effect of different stressors in the immature brain produces an abnormal excessive secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone, which causes spasms.
Is antidiuretic hormone an anterior pituitary hormone?
Anterior Pituitary Makes: 1. Growth Hormone which affects bones & muscles to produce growth. 2. Prolactin which affects the breast for milk secretion. 3. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone which affect adrenal glands to (a) make aldosterone which affects the kidney to cause it to conserve sodium. (b) to make cortisol which affects body cells causing stress. (c) to make androgens which affect the axilla producing hair growth. 4. Thyroid hormone which affects the thyroid to make thyoxine. This acts on body cells and increases metabolism. 5. Gonadotropic Hormones (LH, FSH) which affect the testes causing them to make testosterone. This in turn affects body cells producing male secondary sex characteristics. This same hormone affects the ovaries to make estrogen which again affects body cells which in turn produce female secondary sex characteristics. Both males and females make these two sex hormones. The third effect is on the ovaries to make progesterone which acts on the uterus to maintains pregnancy. Post Pit makes: 1. Oxyotocin which acts on the breast to cause the breasts to "let down" milk. It also causes the uterus to contract. 2. Antidiuretic hormone which acts on the kidney to conserve water
What effect does ANH have on renin?
it inhibits its secretion
