Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In Brattleboro rats, neurons that contained AVP mRNA did not contain AVP or oxytocin immunoreactivity.

    In plain wordsIn Brattleboro rats, neurons with vasopressin messenger RNA showed no vasopressin or body's own oxytocin staining.

    Summary · context
    We analyzed expression of the vasopressin (AVP) gene in semi-thin sections in normal and Brattleboro rats by using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry.

    This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
