Abstract excerpt
The diluting and concentrating function of the kidney plays a crucial role in regulating the water homeostasis of the body. This function is regulated by the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin through the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R), allowing the body to adapt to periods of water load or water restriction.
