No, it doesn't. It actually promotes water retention inside the body.
Before your urethra, millions of tiny tubules are found inside your kidneys which are susceptible to the action of ADH.
When ADH acts upon them, it increases the permeability of their walls (the walls of the tubules). Hence more water can be drawn out of them and held inside the kidneys, not drained into the urethra. Then this water enters into the blood vessels and hence retained inside the body.
This leads to the excretion of a more concentrated, strong colored urine because it will lack water. The lack of water will mean that the volume of the urine will also be reduced, hence the initials ADH meaning anti-diuretic hormone (Diuretic = something that causes urination, anti-diuretic = something that prevents urination).

What Hormone stimulates the kidneys to absorb more water?
The hormone that promotes reabsorption by the kideny is Vasopressin
What stores ADH?
adh is stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary
What are the two hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus but stored in the pituitary?
Oxitocin, and ADH
What part of the body does the antidiuretic hormone come from?
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) is synthesized by nuclei in a particular part of the hypothalamus called the paraventricular nucleus. Once ADH is synthesized it is transported down the axons of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary where it is then released into the blood circulation. ADH synthesis is increased during dehydration as it acts on the kidneys to prevent water excretion. This is achieved by effectively making a region of the kidneys more permeable to water, among other things. Disorders of the hypothalamus can cause Central Diabetes Insipidus, where the bdy is unable to manufacture ADH and you will quickly become dehydrated if water consumption is stopped.
What seceted adh?
The hypothalamus makes ADH and the posterior pituitary secretes it.
Is ADH inhibited by alcohol or increases urine production or promotes dehydration or is produced in the adenohypophysis?
adenohypophysis
What hormone would increase in the blood during dehydration?
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). • ADH helps to avoid dehydration or water overload - prevents urine formation
What hormone promotes reabsorstion of water?
That is andeuratic hormone. ADH. It is secreted by posterior pituitary.
A diuretic is a substance that?
inhibits the release of ADH.
When dehydration occurs what hormone secreted by the pituitary causes the kidneys to conserve water?
ADH
What hormone deficiency causes dehydration and tremendous thirst?
one is insulin. there are others.
What hormone is responsible for excessive urination with out glucose levels and causes dehydration and tremendous thirst?
ADH
What Hormone stimulates the kidneys to absorb more water?
The hormone that promotes reabsorption by the kideny is Vasopressin
What factors stimulate an increase in ADH secrection?
ADH secretion is stimulated by increase in plasma osmolarity. Example:ingestion of Na+ will cause the plasma osmolarity to increase and trigger the pituitary gland to produce ADH.
What triggers pituitary gland to produce adh?
dehydration, high solute levels in the blood, and low blood volume
When is ADH secreted?
In response to dehydration conditions (such as excessive H20 loss through sweating or diarrhea, or reduced blood volume or bp or hemmorhage ) to allow the body to retain up to 99% of the H20 in filtrate.
What is the mechanism of action that makes alcohol a diuretic?
Yes. Alcohol inhibits anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) release in your brain. ADH aids in water reabsorption in the kidneys, so when ADH release is inhibited by alcohol your body cannot retain as much water so you will urinate more which can lead to dehydration.
