Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin are both hormones stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.


The main functions of Oxytocin are aiding in sexual reproduction. The main function of ADH is retaining fluid in the body.

What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?

The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.
