Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.asopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
ADH stands for antidiuretic hormone, which is also known as vasopressin, and it looks like this: ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. It's released from there into the bloodstream, and it affects how the kidneys work by letting them know how much water they need to keep in or get out of the body.
