1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
In male breeders sampled during selection of the two lines (Wis/HBP: n = 17; Wis/LBP: n = 21), both arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) contents were measured by radioimmunoassay in the motor cortex, septum/striatum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, medulla oblongata and posterior pituitary.
This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
