Answer:

Anti diuretic hormone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anti diuretic hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin is a polypeptide hormone released from the pituitary gland. This hormone is involved in the sexual motivation and social behavior of the organism.

ADH is released in case of low blood pressure and blood volume. This hormone helps in the conservation of body water and also constricts the arteriole. This increases the blood pressure, blood volume and maintains the homeostasis of the body.

Thus, the answer is anti diuretic hormone.
