OEA induces oxytocin mRNA expression in PVN and SON. A, B, Effects of vehicle (open bars) or OEA (closed bars, 5 and 10 mg kg−1, i.p.) on oxytocin and vasopressin mRNA levels in the rat PVN (A) and SON (B). C, D, Effects of vehicle or OEA (10 mg kg−1, i.p.) on oxytocin mRNA expression in wild-type C57BL/6 mice (Wt, open bars) and PPAR-α−/− mice (closed bars) in the PVN (C) and SON (D). Animals were killed 1 h after OEA administration. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, versus respective control; n = 5–6.
