Maternal Separation Induces Long-Term Alterations in the Cardiac Oxytocin Receptor and Cystathionine γ-Lyase Expression in Mice

Figure 5

Regression analysis of Oxtr and CSE in the LV myocardium of LTSS- and STSS-exposed animals. Positive linear correlation between the Oxtr and CSE expression was detected in the LTSS paradigm (a). No significant correlation between Oxtr and CSE was found in the STSS paradigm (b). Oxtr: oxytocin receptor; CSE: cystathionine γ-lyase; LTSS: long-term separation stress; STSS: short-term separation stress; LV: left ventricular.
