Oxytocin does not restore pup weight gain in BrCr-treated mice. Mice were treated with BrCr or vehicle (control) at time 0, and pups were removed for 2 h. All mice were then injected with 300 μl 2 U/ml oxytocin, and pups returned and were allowed to suckle for another 4 h. Pups were then weighed again to determine weight gain during the 4-h suckling period. Error bars indicate SE; n = 3 for both BrCr and control groups.
