PG - 825-9 AB - 1. Subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of compound 48/80 elicited the increases of water intake, plasma beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity, hypothalamic 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol sulfate and Hct in the rats. 2. The s.c. pretreatment of naloxone reduced the compound 48/80-induced water intake but had no effects on other variables. 3. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of naloxone attenuated the compound 48/80- and i.c.v. injected angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced water intake. 4. The hypothalamic norepinephrine metabolism was increased by s.c. injection of compound 48/80 but not by i.c.v. ANG II. 5. The present data suggest the possible involvement of opioid peptide (beta-endorphin) on the compound 48/80- and ANG II-induced thirst. However, it is uncertain whether hypothalamic norepinephrine is involved in the hypovolemic thirst mediated via stimulation of renin-angiotensin system.
