Index of AVP labeling after immunohistochemistry (A,C) and in situ hybridization (B,D) procedures in magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus (SON; A,B) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN; C,D) of sham‐operated, septic and septic with early death (septic ED) rats. Box plots show median (interquartile). A. In the SON, arginine vasopressin (AVP) protein expression varied significantly among groups and was significantly higher in sham rats than in septic and septic ED rats. C. In the PVN, AVP protein expression varied significantly among groups and was significantly higher in septic ED rats than in sham rats. B., D. In both SON and PVN, vasopressin mRNA expression did not differ statistically between groups.
