Calcitonin effect on the dipsogenic response to intra-cerebroventricular administration of angiotensin II. 1987

C R Plata-Salamán, and Y Oomura

Evidence indicates that intra-third cerebroventricular (III-ICV) administration of calcitonin suppresses food and water intake of rats. The purpose of this study was to determine whether calcitonin would influence angiotensin II-induced dipsogenesis when simultaneously administered III-ICV. Administration of calcitonin (0.5 U/rat) suppressed food and water intake in male Wistar rats. III-ICV administration of angiotensin II (100 ng/rat) to rats provided with ad lib food and water elicited short latency drinking without affecting food intake. III-ICV administration of calcitonin (0.5 U/rat) did not affect the drinking-inducing response to 100 ng/rat of angiotensin II when administered simultaneously. The results suggest that decrease in water intake by III-ICV calcitonin may be a consequence of the food intake suppression, i.e., reduced prandial drinking.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
