The role of vasopressin, cosecreted with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), in stress is debated, because both normal as well as reduced adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) rise to an acute challenge has been reported in Brattleboro rats genetically lacking vasopressin (di/di). Because di/di pups could be born either from di/+ (heterozygous) or from di/di mothers, and maternal influence is known to modify...
