  • Title: "Antidotal thirst": a response to intoxication.
    Author: Smith DF, Balagura S, Lubran M.
    Journal: Science; 1970 Jan 16; 167(3916):297-8. PubMed ID: 5409712.
    Abstract:
    Albino rats increased their intake of water soon after they were given a load of 0.12 molar lithium chloride in the stomach. Alterations in blood volume and tonicity could not account for the magnitude of the thirst observed, which served to facilitate the renal excretion of the toxic lithium ions.
