Abstract
Peptides play an important role as peripheral and central signals that promote maintenance of body fluid homeostasis. Many of these peptides are involved in the physiological and behavioral responses generating thirst, especially in response to extracellular dehydration (hypovolemia). This article discusses the influence of peptides on intake of water and saline solutions with a focus on peptides that act on or are synthesized within the brain.
