Q. Which of the following hormones stimulates the reabsorption of electrolytes in the kidney?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Vasopressin acts mainly at the kidney and stimulates resorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubules and thereby reduces the loss of water through urine (diuresis). Hence, it is also called an anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).
