Abstract

Single administrations of LiCl in fluid deprived pigeons produced immediate and sustained drinking which was (a) significantly greater than in NaCl-injected birds, (b) a function of the dosage of lithium, and (c) persistent for several days following the highest dosage used. Experiment 2 employed the same procedures to examine the effects of lithium upon fluid consumption in the rat. Results indicated that single administrations of lithium had little effect on water consumption.

摘要

给缺水的鸽子单次注射氯化锂会引发即时且持续的饮水行为，这种行为（a）显著多于注射氯化钠的鸽子；（b）是锂剂量的函数；（c）在使用的最高剂量后持续数天。实验2采用相同程序来检验锂对大鼠液体消耗的影响。结果表明，单次注射锂对水的消耗影响不大。
