Expression of vasopressin in the hypothalamus of active and passive rats with poststress depression.
No interstrain differences were revealed in vasopressin concentration in the hypothalamus of control and treated active and passive rats with poststress depression. Changes in vasopressin immunoreactivity corresponded to variations in corticotropin-releasing hormone concentration observed in this model of depression. These data suggest that vasopressin contributes to the development of this experimental psychopathology.
