Yes, it is true. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, increases water reabsorption in the kidneys by making the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts more permeable to water. This is achieved through the insertion of aquaporin channels in the membranes of these tubules, allowing more water to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, thereby concentrating the urine and reducing water loss.
