ADH is know as vassopressin and is produces by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary. It is a peptide neurohormone of about 9 amino acids in length. ADH stands for anti diuretic hormone and prevents excess urine formation by reabsorbing water. When osmoteceptor cells in the hypothalamus senses an increase in osmolaritg in the ECF, SON and PVN cells are stimulated to secrete ADH. Also baroreceptors in the large arteries sense decreases in blood pressure and blood volume due to fluid loss. This also stimulus ADH secretion in order to conserve water. Interestingly, alcohol inhibits ADH secretion, therefore producing very dilute urine which stimulates thirst.
The ADH feedback loop is an example of a negative feedback loop. Negative feedback loops occur when the output of a system acts to oppose the changes to the input of the system. This is the case with ADH because when there is not enough water, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland work to release ADH so that the body can retain more water.
Changes in blood osmotic pressure would most affect the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the pituitary gland. ADH helps regulate the concentration of urine by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, and its secretion is influenced by blood osmotic pressure to maintain water balance in the body.
Alcohol inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, leading to increased urine production and promoting dehydration. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland, not the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary gland).
Factors that stimulate an increase in ADH secretion include dehydration, increased osmolarity of the blood, low blood volume or pressure, stress, and certain medications. ADH helps the body retain water by reducing the amount of water excreted in urine.
ADH is short for Anti Diuretic Hormone and it prevents excess water loss. As such, a hyper-secretion of ADH will result in less urine by volume, and the urine will have a lower concentration of water. Conversely, it will have a higher concentration of solutes (Sodium, Potassium, Urea, etc.)

Alcohol can inhibit the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and helps regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body by controlling water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Diabetes insipidus
Diabetes insipidus
ADH secretion is stimulated by factors such as dehydration, high blood osmolality, low blood pressure, and stress. These conditions trigger the hypothalamus to release ADH from the posterior pituitary gland to help regulate water balance in the body.
Changes in blood osmotic pressure would most affect the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the pituitary gland. ADH helps regulate the concentration of urine by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, and its secretion is influenced by blood osmotic pressure to maintain water balance in the body.
Negative feedback involving the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps regulate blood water content. When blood water content decreases, ADH is released to signal the kidneys to retain water, preventing excessive water loss through urine. Conversely, when blood water content is high, less ADH is released, promoting water loss through urine to maintain balance.
The neurohypophyseal secretion of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to the formation of concentrated urine. ADH acts on the collecting ducts of the nephrons in the kidneys to increase their permeability to water, allowing the body to conserve water and produce concentrated urine.
Alcohol (ethanol) acts on the hypothalamus to inhibit ADH secretion. This leads to diuresis and the typical repeated trips to the bathroom while at the bar drinking.
Hypo-secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can be caused by conditions such as diabetes insipidus, which may be due to damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, leading to decreased production or release of ADH. Other causes could include tumors, head injuries, or certain medications affecting the function of the pituitary gland.
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
