The Hormone ADH is Produced by the Adrenal Cortex and Acts

Question

The hormone ADH is produced by the adrenal cortex and acts to reduce the amount of urine produced.

Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is actually produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. Its main function is to regulate water balance in the body by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys and reducing urine output. It is not produced by the adrenal cortex.
