Effect of Intraventricular Injection of Oxytocin or Antioxytocin Serum on Rat Swimming Maintaining Time / 第二军医大学学报

In order to investigate the possibility that oxytocin (OT) is involved in stress reaction, the effect of OT or antioxytocin serum (AOTS) on rat swimming maintaining time was observed. On intraventrncularly administrating 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5.0ng OT 5min before swimming,the swimming maintaining time was 29.32?5.84%, 44.92?4.54%. 60.18?4.21% and 80.48?3.62% shorter than that before injection,respectively.All the swimming maintaining time of the experimental groups was shorter significantly than that of the control group which was intraventricularly injected saline (p
