Expression of transcripts of PVH neuropeptides.

<p>Hypothalamic tissues were punched out from 10 weeks old mice of <i>Oxytocin-Ires-Cre:Rosa26^iDTR/+</i> mice (lesion, n = 6) and <i>Oxytocin-Ires-Cre</i> mice (control, n = 7) that received DTX injections two weeks before. Expression of mRNA assessed by Q-PCR assays with GAPDH as an internal control using the punched tissues were shown for oxytocin (A), AVP (B), CRH (C) and TRH (D). **P<0.01 using two tailed Student’s T test.
