Corpus tone with oxytocin alone and following CRF treatment

	Oxytocin alone	Oxytocin after CRF
	(mg)	(mg)
All groups (N = 24)	−154 ± 13.9	6.5 ± 16.7*
CRF decreases the effect of OXT alone (N = 16)	−174 ± 18.8	−43 ± 12.6*
CRF reverses the effect of OXT alone (N = 8)	−126 ± 12.7	139 ± 42.2*

The first microinjection of oxytocin (Oxytocin alone) in the DVC decreases corpus tone. Following CRF pretreatment, a second microinjection of oxytocin (Oxytocin after CRF) in the DVC modulates differentially the corpus tone.*P < 0.05 vs. Oxytocin alone.
