The response of the gastric corpus to microinjection of oxytocin engages different pathways in naive and CRF-exposed rats

Naive rats		Rats exposed to CRF
Oxytocin (mg)	Repeat oxytocin (mg)	Oxytocin (mg)	Repeat oxytocin after CRF (mg)
−173 ± 52.5	l-NAME (N = 4) −8 ± 7.7*	−103 ± 8.9	l-NAME (N = 5) −178 ± 31.6
−131 ± 21.3	Bethanechol (N = 4) −375 ± 88.4	−108 ± 6.5	Bethanechol (N = 4) −311 ± 129.6
−138 ± 20.5	VIP antagonist (N = 7) −64 ± 20.9	−138 ± 20.5	VIP antagonist (N = 7) −23 ± 39.6*

^*P < 0.05 vs. Oxytocin alone.
