Angiotensin is the most potent naturally occurring substance known to produce normal and specific behavior patterns when injected into the brain. These actions of angiotensin on thirst and sodium appetite, when considered with its other actions, show that the hormone is intimately concerned in extracellular fluid volume control. The extent of the participation of angiotensin from various sources in the two behaviors remains uncertain since there are certainly other controls of thirst and sodium appetite that do not depend on angiotensin.
血管紧张素是已知的最有效的天然物质，当注入大脑时，它会产生正常且特定的行为模式。血管紧张素对口渴和钠食欲的这些作用，连同它的其他作用一起考虑，表明该激素与细胞外液量的控制密切相关。由于肯定存在其他不依赖于血管紧张素的口渴和钠食欲控制机制，所以来自各种来源的血管紧张素在这两种行为中的参与程度仍不确定。
