Diabetes insipidus occurs due to the hyposecretion of

A

thymosine

B

oxytocin

C

growth

D

vasopressin

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH) released from poseterior pituitary increases reabsorption of water from distal and collecting tubules of the kidney. Thus, helping in producing concentrated urine. If there is hypsecretion of vasopressin, then water will not be reabsorbed from the tubules and the urine thus produced will be dilute. this disorder is called diabetes insipidus which is characterised by producing dilute urine several times a day.
