Answer- Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

 

When there is an increase in blood osmolality, the increased blood osmolality stimulates the hypothalamus, which in turn stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to secrete Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). The secreted ADH then acts on the kidney to increase water retention.

What form of vitamin d is the major circulating form with a half-life of approximately 3 weeks?
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>The correct answer is calcifediol or calcidiol.</span>
<span>It is a prehormone that is produced in the liver. The mechanism of production includes hydroxylation of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) by the enzyme cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase. Because it is the major form of vitamin D in the blood, it is considered the best indicator of vitamin D status. Calcidiol is converted in the kidneys into calcitriol which is the active form of vitamin D. </span>
