  • One-way ANOVA shows the p values for the Sampling effects of either Ringer’s or V1 antagonist (Anta) application on plasma corticosterone levels at the different CT. Two-way ANOVA indicates the significance of differences between Ringer’s and VP antagonist administration (Fig. 3). Number of animals is indicated in italics.
