उत्तर
The steroid responsible for balance of water and electrolytes in our body is aldosterone.

Vasopressin acts mainly in the kidney and stimulates the resorption of water and electrolytes by the distal tubules and thereby reducing the loss of water through urine (diuresis). Hence, it is also called anti-diuretic hormone (ADH).
