Endocrinology/VasopressinADH/SummaryOfEffect/basic
| With an increase/a decrease in the synthesis, secretion, and blood concentration of vasopressin (ADH), the number of water channels (in the tubule) increases/decreases, which increases/decreases the reabsorption of water. The plasma osmolarity is decreased/increased. |
With an increase/a decrease in the synthesis, secretion, and blood concentration of vasopressin (ADH), the number of water channels (in the tubule) increases/decreases, which increases/decreases the reabsorption of water. The plasma osmolarity-decreasing effect of reabsorption increases/decreases, and the plasma osmolarity decreases (becomes diluted, hypotonic)/increases (becomes concentrated, hypertonic).
