The study demonstrates that angiotensin II induces dose-dependent thirst and drinking behavior in chickens, extending the species generality of this physiological response.
Both systemic (100 mug, 200 mug, and 400 mug im) and intracranial (75 ng, 150 ng, and 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 has been 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.
