Table 3 Overview of ANOVA and, if appropriate, post-hoc pairwise comparisons of the percentage of time displaying four main categories of behaviors (plus individual aggressive behaviors) in a 10 min SxAT in response to i.c.v. infusions of OXT or AVP vs. VEH, or IP injections of ETH vs. VEH.

From: Modelling sexual violence in male rats: the sexual aggression test (SxAT)
