A person is undergoing prolonged fasting. His urine will be found to contain abnormal quantities of

ketones
amino acids
glucose
ADH controls water permeability of
collecting tube
proximal convoluted tubules
distal convoluted tubules
all of the above
C.
distal convoluted tubules
The vasopressin hormone, secreted by neurohypophysis of pituitary gland promotes the reabsorption of water from the distal convoluted tubules of nephrons, reducing excretion of water in urine (diuresis). Hence, it is called Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). Its release in blood is controlled by an 'osmoregulatory centre' located in hypothalamus. Hyposecretion of ADH causes diabetes incipidus.
