2.0 M NaCl administration and restraint increases activation of OT-producing cells in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH). (A) Representative photomicrograph of a unilateral coronal section depicting Fos induction (red nuclei) in OT (green cell bodies) containing neurons following 0.15 M NaCl and restraint. (B) Representative photomicrograph of a unilateral coronal section depicting Fos induction in OT neurons following 2.0 M NaCl and restraint. (C) The group mean for Fos induction in OT-producing cells was significantly more for mice subjected to 2.0 M NaCl injection and restraint relative to control. *p < 0.05 Scale bars = 50 μm.
