ResumoA relatively large literature has described the motivated drinking behavior produced by angiotensin, which occurs even in normally hydrated animals. Many investigations have attempted to relate angiotensin to a "regulatory" thirst drive, i.e., drinking in response to an osmotic or volume stimulus. A review of this literature is difficult because there are unclarities in various aspects of regulatory thirst. Therefore, this review is divided into two sections. The first section briefly discusses the nature and location of receptors and anatomic sites for osmotic and volume thirst and some methodological considerations. The second section describes angiotensin thirst and it's potential significance.
