Biology:Dipsogen
From HandWiki
A dipsogen (from Greek: δίψα (dipsa), "thirst" and the suffix -gen, "to create") is an agent that causes thirst.[1]
A common example is Angiotensin II (ANG II), which is a potent dipsogen in all vertebrate species except cyclostomes, hagfishes and lampreys.[2][3] Adrenomedullin (AM) is another potent dipsogen.
Anti-dipsogenic hormones are substances that inhibit drinking. Examples of these include atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and ghrelin (GRLN).[3]
