Oxtr expression, quantified by qPCR as fold-change relative to Actb. (A) Relative Oxtr expression varied significantly by brain region with the highest expression levels in the hippocampus and the lowest (but readily detectable levels) in the hypothalamus. Transcript levels were too low to reliably assess in PBMCs (not shown). (B) Relative Oxtr expression was negatively correlated with corticosterone secretion in response to a stressor. **** = p < 0.0001 (Tukey's HSD)
