摘要：

The effect of hypertonic saline injection was studied in septal rats in order to determine whether the observed polydipsia is primary to the polyuria and urine hypoosmolality or if water diabetes may be occurring. It was found that both the septal operated and control animals responded similarly to the osmotic stress. Therefore, the possibility of diabetes insipidus was rejected. Septal rats were also found to drink more 3 per cent saline solution ad libitum over a 24 hr period than did controls. The possibility of psychogenic polydipsia in septal rats is discussed. A general discussion of the problems raised by current findings regarding effects of septal lesions on water balance and their bearing on the motivational behavior reported for septal animals is presented. © 1968.
