Osmoregulation of thirst

Journal of Endocrinology, 1988
Abstract In healthy man, regulation of water balance is achieved by the combined effects of the hypothalamic nonapeptide arginine vasopressin, which limits renal water loss, and the sensation of thirst, which promotes ingestion of water. These mechanisms ensure precise and accurate water homeostasis.

Developmental Psychobiology, 1988
AbstractIn previous work (Leshem, M., Boggan, B., and Epstein, A.N. (1988). The ontogeny of drinking evoked by activation of brain angiotensin in the rat pup. Dev. Psychobiol. Vol. 21, pp. 63–75) we showed that thirst elicited by activation of the brain's renin‐angiotensin system in the suckling becomes specific to water after 16 days of age.

Thirst and sodium appetite

Endeavour, 1980
Abstract The survival of animals depends on the maintenance of a sufficient volume of extracellular fluid with an adequate sodium content. To meet this requirement the body has mechanisms that regulate both thirst and sodium appetite, and in these the octapeptide hormone angiotensin II may play an important role.
