Table 1.

Selectivity of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) V1aR, AVP V1bR and oxytocin receptors (OTR) to AVP and OT.

	AVP			OT
Receptor	V1aR	V1bR	OTR	V1aR	V1bR	OTR
Humans	1.1	0.7	1.7	120	>1000	0.8^*
Rats	2.6	0.3	1.7	71	294	1.0
Mice	1.3	0.3	1.8	46.1	494	0.6

Affinity values in K_i (nM);

defined as selective as compared with the two other receptors of that species by the selectivity criteria of having a two orders of magnitude lower K_i; Modified from[35].
