ADH

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) controls the tubular permeability and concentration of sodium in the extracellular fluid. It regulates the osmotic pressure of body fluids by causing the kidneys to increase water reabsorption.

It associates with the renal pressure system and then regulates the fluid volume of body through the agency of hypothalamic osmoreceptors.
