title: Expression of vasopressin in the hypothalamus of active and passive rats with poststress depression.
abstract: 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.
