Abstract

MANY species eat less than normal when deprived of water, and this may be due to a central nervous thirst factor inhibiting feeding^1,2, thereby promoting water conservation³. It may be that many factors that increase thirst also reduce feeding, and this appears to be true for hypertonicity⁴ and hyperthermia⁵. The recent finding ⁶ that drinking can be induced by intracranial injection of angiotensin in rats suggests that angiotensin may also suppress feeding.
