Septal polydipsia in rats is a primary polydipsia not mediated by dopamine.

چکیده
Bilateral lesions of nucleus septal lateralis resulted in a sustained and significant increase in water intake, without any change in food intake. Intracerebral injection of dopamine (DA) or of spiperone (a central D2-receptor antagonist) did not elicit any change in water or food intake. The polydipsia resulting from septal lesions is thus a primary polydipsia, which is independent of food intake, and is not mediated by neurotransmitter dopamine.

Evidence for bradykinin as a stimulator of thirst.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACEI) with captopril has been shown to increase water intake and urine output in rats, but the mechanism is unknown. ACEI impairs the conversion of ANG I to ANG II, a dipsogenic hormone, and impairs the degradation of bradykinin. The goal of this study was to examine the role of bradykinin in the polydipsia and polyuria associated with ACEI. Male Spragu...
متن کاملEffect of primary polydipsia on aquaporin and sodium transporter abundance.
Chronic primary polydipsia (POLY) in humans is associated with impaired urinary concentrating ability. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for this finding have not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of chronic primary POLY on water metabolism and renal aquaporin (AQP) water channels and sodium and urea transporter abundance in rats. Primary POLY was ...
متن کاملIncreased Drinking following Social Isolation Rearing: Implications for Polydipsia Associated with Schizophrenia
Primary polydipsia, excessive drinking without known medical cause, is especially associated with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. We used animal models of schizophrenia-like symptoms to examine the effects on schedule-induced polydipsia: post-weaning social isolation rearing, subchronic MK-801 treatment (an NMDA-receptor antagonist) or the two combined. Male, Sprague-Dawley rats reared in groups ...
متن کاملFood-delay duration and the development of schedule-induced polydipsia in rats.
Twelve rats were exposed to a schedule that delivered a food pellet every 60 s (fixed time 60 s). The development of schedule-induced polydipsia was measured in terms of the water consumed and the licks per interpellet interval. Every lick by master rats initiated an unsignalled delay of 2 or 50 s in food delivery. Yoked-control rats received food at the same time as their masters, being unaffe...
متن کاملNucleus accumbens lesion does not affect schedule induced polydipsia.
Rats with lesion of nucleus accumbens were hypodipsic under free-feeding conditions. In schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP) tests conducted by reducing the rats to 70% of free-feeding body weight and delivering 60 mg bengal gram pellets on a fixed time 1-min schedule, nucleus accumbens lesions did not delay the acquisition or show a decrease in the maintenance of S.I.P.
