[Conjugated forms of angiotensin II and beta-endorphin in systemic organization of goal-oriented behavior].

The effects of conjugated angiotensin II and beta-endorphin on the rat drinking behavior that was natural and formed due to preliminary learning were comparatively analyzed. Some behavioral responses were also studied after active immunization with the above agents. It is suggested that the conjugated forms of the regulatory peptides play a specific informational role in the systemic organization of goal-oriented behavior. These substances due to their conformational properties and involvement in the hierarchic organization of integrative processes in the nervous system are shown to be of great value.
