In both strains, CRF-41 was identified in two morphologically distinct systems: one was a hypothalamoneurohypophysial system simultaneously containing CRF-41, OXY and N I; the other was a hypothalamoinfundibular system carrying CRF-41 only.

The localization of CRF-41 related peptide was studied in the brain and posterior pituitary of the homozygous rats for the inherited diabetes insipidus (Brattleboro strain, DI) and of the Long-Evans rats (LE) as control.
This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
