Mineralocorticoid modulation of central angiotensin-induced neuronal activity, water intake and sodium appetite

Mineralocorticoid modulation of central angiotensin-induced neuronal activity, water intake and sodium appetite

Central angiotensin II (AngII) stimulates water and salt solution intake. Pretreatment with low-dose mineralocorticoid (DOCA) enhances this AngII-induced intake of salt solutions (the synergy theory) in Wistar and Sprague Dawley rats but not in Fischer rats. This response is mediated via the AT-1 re...
