Abstract

The distribution and the amount of [3H]oxytocin binding were studied in the brain of adult rats of either sex, as well as in male and female castrates, some of which received injections of estradiol or testosterone. Intact males were treated with an aromatase inhibitor. Castration and inhibition of aromatase activity reduced, whereas estradiol and testosterone increased oxytocin binding, particularly in regions of the brain assumed to be involved in reproductive functions, such as the ventrolateral part of the hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus and the islands of Calleja and neighbouring cell groups. Binding of oxytocin to the uterus was also estrogen-dependent. In the same animals, we also studied the distribution of [3H]vasopressin binding sites present in the brain. It was similar in males and females, and was not affected by experimentally manipulating gonadal hormone levels. In immunocytochemical studies we noticed, as others had previously, that the vasopressin content of certain areas of the rat brain was affected by castration, whereas the oxytocin innervation was not. These results are discussed in relation to the possible functions of oxytocin in the brain and of the lack of correspondence between the immunocytochemical and the autoradiographic data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
