Fig. 3. (A) Northern blot hybridization of hypothalamic RNA probed with fowl
AVT cDNA and GAPDH. Each lane was loaded with 20 µg of
total cellular RNA. C, control; WD, water deprived; TP, testosterone
propionate treated; TP+WD, testosterone propionate treated + water deprived
for last 2 days of injection; EB, estradiol benzoate treated; EB+WD, estradiol
benzoate treated + water deprived for last 2 days of injection. (B)
Hypothalamic AVT mRNA. Values are means ±
S.E.M. (N=10).
*P<0.05; **P<0.01;
***P<0.001 (significance of difference from
control).
