Best Answer

Yes, a lack of vasopressin (ADH) can cause excessive urination, a condition called Diabetes insipidus. Vasopressin is released by the posterior pituitary, but is actually produced in the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary through axons. Thus, an inability of the hypothalamus to produce vasopressin would cause excessive urination.
