Abstract
Administration of lithium chloride (40 mg/kg i.p.) led to a significant increase in 24 h water intake of rats. Prior administration of propranolol and haloperidol blocked the effect of lithium while atropine failed to show such an effect. The dipsogenic effect of lithium is probably exerted through beta-adrenergic and dopaminergic pathways.Entities:
