Rat data are compiled from meta-analysis of CRFR1 receptor binding reports from de Souza et al. (1985), de Souza et al. (1987), Primus et al. (1997), and Steckler and Holsboer (1999).
Monkey data are summarized from Sanchez et al. (1999) and Grigoriadis et al. (1995).
For vole data, averaged across sex: 0, <1000 dpm/mg; +, 1000–2000 dpm/mg; ++, 2000–4000 dpm/mg; +++, 4000–6000 dpm/mg; ++++, 6000–10000 dpm/mg; +++++, >10000 dpm/mg; nr, not reported.
