Abstract
The role of angiotensin II in the central regulation of feed intake in sheep. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 81: 215-221. The objective was to determine the role of Angiotensin II (ANG) in the central regulation of feed intake by ruminants. As a control treatment, artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was given (over a period of 98.5 h) as a continuous intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion (0.2 mL h-1) into the lateral ventricle of ewes (n = 5). Approximately 9 d later, the infusion was repeated with the same ewes, but the CSF contained ANG (25 μg mL-1). The ewes were fed dried alfalfa chaff for 2 h once daily and both water and a 0.5 M NaCl solution were available ad libitum (except that water intake w..
