“…Experiments have made it possible to detect V1aR, V1bR, and OXTR mRNAs and proteins in the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, pons, medulla, and cerebellum [ 3 , 29 , 33 , 50 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ]. V1R and OXTR are also present in the arteries, veins, heart, lungs, carotid bodies, kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, eyes, ovaries, uterus, thymus, and autonomic ganglia [ 30 , 35 , 37 , 38 , 46 , 69 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 ]. Vasopressin V2R mRNA and protein were found in the kidneys and the urinary bladder [ 58 , 79 , 80 ].…”
