Question

A patient comes to OPD with anti-diuretic hormone disturbance. ADH has which of the following effects on the distal convoluted tubule of kidney?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorbtion by stimulating insertion of "water channels" or aquaporins into the membranes of kidney tubules. These channels transport solute-free water through tubular cells and back into blood, leading to a decrease in plasma osmolarity and an increase osmolarity of urine.
