Immunoreactivity for oxytocin and arginine vasopressin in the PVN and SON. (A) The number of oxytocin-immunoreactive (IR) cells in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) was lower in female prairie voles who consumed alcohol compared to females who consumed only water. (B) The number of oxytocin-IR cells in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) did not differ between groups. (C) The number of arginine vasopressin (AVP) –IR cells in the PVN and (D) SON did not differ between the three groups. *p < 0.05. Error bars indicate mean ± SEM.
