Summary Introduction
To compare: The effects of aldosterone with those of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on serum sodium levels.
Concept introduction: Sodium is an essential electrolyte. The optimum serum sodium concentration is 3.8 to 5 mmol per liter.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin is a hormone secreted by neurohypophysis and its function is homeostatic regulation of water reabsorption and peripheral vascular resistance.
