Abstract
Eels seem to be a suitable model system for analysing regulatory mechanisms of drinking behavior in vertebrates, since most dipsogens and antidipsogens in mammals influence the drinking rate in the seawater eels similarly. The drinking behavior in fishes consists of swallowing alone, since they live in water and water is constantly held in the mouth for respiration. Therefore, contraction of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) muscle limits the drinking rate in fishes. The UES of the eel was innervated by the glossopharyngeal-vagal motor complex (GVC) in the medulla oblongata (MO). The GVC neurons were immunoreactive to an antibody raised against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), an acetylcholine (ACh) synthesizing enzyme, indicating that the eel UES muscle is controlled cholinergically by the GVC. The neuronal activity of the GVC was inhibited by adrenaline or dopamine, suggesting catecholaminergic innervation to the GVC. The AP and the commissural nucleus of Cajal (NCC) in the MO projected to the GVC and were immunoreactive to an antibody raised against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), rate limiting enzyme to produce catecholamines from tyrosine. Therefore, it is likely that activation in the AP or the NCC may inhibit the GVC and thus relaxes the UES muscle, which allows for water to enter into the esophagus. During passing through the esophagus, the imbibed sea water (SW) was desalted to approximately 1/2 SW, which was further diluted in the stomach and arrived at the intestine as approximately 1/3 SW, almost isotonic to the plasma. Finally, from the diluted SW, the eel intestine absorbed water following the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransport (NKCC2) system. The NaCl and water absorption across the intestine was regulated by various factors, especially by peptides such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and somatostatin (SS-25 II). During desalination in the esophagus, however, excess salt enters into the blood circulation, which is liable to raise the plasma osmolarity. However, the eel heart was constricted powerfully by the hyperosmolarity, suggesting that the hyperosmolarity enhances the stroke volume to the gill, where excess salt was extruded powerfully via Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransport (NKCC1) system.

Abstract
We investigated urinary changes and thirst induced by infusion of hyperosmotic solutions in freely moving rats. Intracarotid infusions of 0.3 M NaCl (4 ml/20 min, split between both internal carotid arteries) caused a larger increase in excretion of Na(+) and K(+) than intravenous infusions, indicating that cephalic sensors were involved in the response to intracarotid infusions. Intravenous and intracarotid infusions of hyperosmotic glycerol or urea (300 mM in 150 mM NaCl) had little or no effect, suggesting the sensors were outside the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Intracarotid infusion of hypertonic mannitol (300 mM in 150 mM NaCl) was more effective than intravenous infusion, suggesting that cell volume rather than Na(+) concentration of the blood was critical. Similarly, intracarotid infusion (2 ml/20 min, split between both sides), but not intravenous infusion of hypertonic NaCl or mannitol caused thirst. Hyperosmotic glycerol, infused intravenously or into the carotid arteries, did not cause thirst. We conclude that both thirst and electrolyte excretion depend on a cell volume sensor that is located in the head, but outside the BBB.

Abstract
These studies were designed to investigate whether the centrally mediated pressor effects of hypertonic sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions are triggered in response to changes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) osmolality and whether the chloride ion plays a role in these effects. In Inactin anesthetized, vagotomized rats, alterations in the arterial pressure to cerebroventricular administration (i.c.v.) of various concentrations of NaCl, sodium nitrate (NaNO3), glycerol, creatinine, lithium chloride (LiCl), lithium nitrate (LiNO3) and choline chloride were evaluated. The pressor effects of NaCl were significantly greater than those produced by either glycerol, creatinine and/or NaNO3 solutions. Central effects of NaCl were identical to that of LiCl; likewise, NaNO3 and LiNO3 produced essentially similar increases in the blood pressure. In other words, the two chloride salts produced significantly greater increases in the arterial pressure than the nitrate salts. Choline chloride also produced significant increases in the blood pressure both before and after pretreatment with hemicholinum (i.c.v.). In a separate series of experiments, pretreatment of rats with a vasopressin antagonist (i.v.), significantly attenuated the pressor effects of NaCl, NaNO3 and that of choline chloride whereas after autonomic ganglionic blockade with chlorisondamine, pressor responses of only NaCl, but not those of NaNO3 or choline chloride were significantly inhibited. These data indicate that elevation of either Na+ or Cl- in the CSF facilitates vasopressin secretion and that Na+ and Cl- ions function synergistically in the central nervous system (C.N.S.) to enhance sympathetic activity. The present studies demonstrate that the circumventricular structures in the C.N.S. that participate in the regulation of blood pressure are more responsive to changes in concentrations of Na+ and Cl- rather than to net changes in the CSF osmolality. The data further suggest that the chloride ion contributes to the central pressor effects of NaCl and may play a role in the pathophysiology of salt-dependent hypertension.

Abstract
Water intake and changes in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition were measured in response to intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) and intracarotid infusions of hypertonic NaCl solutions and after 48 h of water deprivation in sheep. Significant interindividual differences in dipsogenic sensitivity to i.c.v. NaCl were found, whereas no such differences were observed in response to intracarotid infusion of hypertonic NaCl. In the more sensitive animals, the increase in CSF [Na] at initiation of drinking during i.c.v. infusion did not differ significantly from the increase in plasma [Na] seen at the thirst threshold during intracarotid infusion of 1 M NaCl. The thirst-eliciting infusions of hypertonic NaCl into the carotid arteries were associated with a small, significant, increase in CSF [Na], which however did not differ from that caused by an i.c.v. non-dipsogenic 'control' infusion of a slightly hypertonic (0.154 M) NaCl solution. Water deprivation for 48 h induced increases in CSF and plasma [Na] similar to those observed at the onset of drinking in response to i.c.v. and intracarotid infusions of hypertonic NaCl. However, the dehydrated animals drank about four times the amount of water consumed in response to the separate treatments with hypertonic NaCl. It is concluded that significant interindividual differences in dipsogenic sensitivity to osmotic stimuli are present in sheep, and that these differences may not necessarily be simultaneously expressed on both sides of the blood-brain barrier. The thirst-eliciting effect of intravascular infusion of hypertonic NaCl may be induced without concomitant increase in CSF [Na] and/or osmolality.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Two potent stimuli for AVP release into the blood, hemorrhage and hypertonic saline, were evaluated for their antipyretic effects in the rat. Hemorrhage of 20% of estimated blood volume reduced brain temperature of febrile but not afebrile rats confirming earlier research in the sheep. Hypertonic saline was also antipyretic in the rat. Hypertonic urea was somewhat less antipyretic whereas hypertonic glucose had no effect on febrile temperatures. AVP release into the peripheral circulation showed the relationship saline greater than urea greater than glucose and parallelled the antipyretic effectiveness of these solutes. The antipyresis caused by hypertonic saline was not significantly different in rats passively immunized intravenously with AVP antiserum than in rats which received hypertonic saline alone. These results provide indirect evidence that endogenous AVP is released in the brain following hemorrhage or hypertonic challenge and that this endogenous AVP can affect central febrile pathways.

Abstract
Regional neurohypophyseal and cerebral blood flow were measured in 5 awake unstressed female sheep with radiolabelled microspheres before and after the intracarotid infusion of a 3% NaCl solution. Plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels were concurrently measured by radioimmunoassay. Following intracarotid sodium chloride infusion, neural lobe (but not median eminence) blood flow significantly increased, as did plasma AVP levels. Directed thirst and water-seeking behavior was observed, accompanied by a global increase in cortical blood flow. We conclude that the neuroendocrine response and the behavioral display induced by intracarotid sodium chloride infusion are accompanied by increases in blood flow in selected brain regions.

Abstract
The effect of the GABA-agonist muscimol on ADH release induced in rats by administration of hypertonic sodium chloride solutions was studied by means of intracerebroventricular and intraperitoneal injections of the drug. Injected by the intracerebroventricular route, muscimol produced a significant reduction of plasma ADH concentration not only in animals treated with hypertonic sodium chloride, but also in unstimulated animals. Following intraperitoneal administration larger doses were required to produce such an effect, thus suggesting a central site of action for the effect of muscimol on ADH release. Bicuculline, given intraperitoneally before muscimol injection, completely blocked ADH inhibition induced by muscimol, thus suggesting a specific involvement of GABAergic receptors. These findings indicate that GABAergic mechanisms may be involved in the regulation of body fluids in the rat by affecting ADH release.

Abstract
1. Drinking by dogs has been studied during and after running on a treadmill, and compared with the drinking produced by NaCl given by stomach tube or intravenously. 2. When water was offered with a delay of more than 5 min after the end of a run producing loss of 30-90 g water by panting, the drinking was similar to that produced by NaCl, assuming that loss of 100 g water produces the same increase in plasma sodium as 15 m-mole NaCl. It is thus possible to explain drinking with a delay after the run as due to loss of water. 3. When water was offered immediately after a run or during pauses in the running there was drinking which cannot be explained as due to loss of water. Although the immediate stimulus to drinking is small, it may cause repeated small drinks by which the evaporative loss of water during running is matched by water intake. 4. Water (10-20 ml./kg body wt.) given by stomach tube before the run reduced or abolished drinking during running. Doses of water sufficient to stop drinking did not cause an increase in urine volume. 5. From these results a figure is produced placing in order mechanisms which may contribute to the control of water balance.

Abstract
The dogs were infused intravenously with either 3.6% NaCl or 20% mannitol solutions. Both infusions stimulated the animals to drink water when similar osmotic loads were introduced and exactly the same degree of cellular dehydration achieved. The amounts of water drunk at thirst threshold did not differ significantly. The results are discussed with relation to the hypothesis of osmometric control of water intake.

Abstract
In baroreceptor denervated cats one internal carotid artery (ICA) or the cerebral ventricular system (CVS) was perfused with isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic sodium chloride solutions. Renal sympathetic activity (RSA) and blood pressure (BP) were recorded. ICA perfusion with isotonic sodium chloride (150 mM NaCl) produced no changes of RSA compared to control level,. RSA was increased from plus 30% to plus 350% in 44 tests out of 45 tests following hypertonic (425 mM NaCl) ICA perfusion. RSA was decreased following hypotonic (aqua dest.) ICA perfusion from minus 30% to minus 100% in 37 tests out of 50 tests. The degree of RSA changes was found to depend upon the osmolarity of the solutions. 425mM NaCl and aqua dest. produced greater RSA changes than 290 mM NaCl and 75 mM NaCl. CVS perfusion with isotonic sodium chloride produced a slight increase of RSA compared to control levels (plus 15%). Hypertonic sodium chloride produced a RSA increase from plus 15% to plus 135% in 10 tests out of 14 tests. Hypotonic sodium chloride produced a RSA decrease from minus 15% to minus 80% in 8 tests out of 14 tests. Changes of RSA following ICA perfusions and CVS perfusions were accompanied by changes of BP in the same direction. A quantitative correlation between delta RSA and delta BP could not be found. Results suggest that renal osmoregulatory response to osmotic stimuli in the carotid artery may not just arise in response to changing ADH levels but may also be induced by changes in RSA.
