N A Kurtzman et al. Nephron. 1975.

Abstract

This paper reviews the physiology of antidiuretic hormone, including the factors involving the formation, storage and release of the hormone, the metabolism of vasopressin and its physiologic and pharmacologic effects on water and electrolyte transport. The consequences of both deficiency and excess of the hormone are also discussed.
