Abstract
The tachykinins eledoisin and physalaemin, as well as the bombesin peptides litorin, ranatensin and bombesin itself, exert in the pigeon a powerful dipsogenic effect which is similar, as far as drinking behaviour, time course and dose-response relationship are concerned, to that evoked by angiotensin II (Ang II)1–5.
