Answer
The full name of ADH is antidiuretic hormone. It is secreted by the hypothalamus and stored and released from the posterior pituitary gland. Its main function is to regulate the water balance in the body by decreasing the amount of water excreted through urine, thereby increasing the reabsorption of water in the kidneys.
