1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
CRF-antiserum (AS) was given into the lateral ventricle of the brain of Wistar male rats, and 24 h later, the injection was repeated 30 min prior to ether stress followed by decapitation in 5 min. Plasma OXT and AVP were measured by radioimmunoassay and corticosterone by fluorimetry.
This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
