Fig. 3: Effects of synthetic oxytocin or vasopressin, and of ethanol on sexual aggression in adult male Wistar rats.
From: Modelling sexual violence in male rats: the sexual aggression test (SxAT)
Effects of synthetic OXT and AVP, and of ethanol on sexual aggression in adult male Wistar rats. Sexual aggression was calculated as the percentage of time displaying forced mounting (FM) and aggressive behavior (AB) in a 10-min sexual aggression test (SxAT) following (A) i.c.v. infusion with OXT (1 or 100 ng/5 μl Ringer), B i.c.v. infusion with AVP (0.1 or 1 ng/5 μl Ringer), or C i.p. injection with ethanol (0.5 or 1.5 mg/kg ethanol), or vehicle (VEH, Ringer or saline). Data are mean + s.e.m. *p < 0.05 vs. VEH.
