Abstract
Both systemic (100 .mu.g, 200 .mu.g, 400 .mu.g i.m.) and intracranial (75 ng, 150 ng, 300 ng) injections of Val5-angiotensin II-amide produce copious and dose-related drinking in White Leghorn chickens in normal water balance. Angiotensin-induced drinking was reported in several mammalian species and in Barbary doves and white-crowned sparrows. The findings reported here extend the species generality of angiotensin-induced thirst and are evaluated in light of current biochemical and pharmacological analyses of the renin-angiotensin system in chickens.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
