Defensive behaviour and predatory behaviours appear normal in these knockout mice, [14] but there is evidence that social motivation or awareness is reduced. [15] The AVPR1B antagonist, SSR149415, has been shown to have anti-aggressive actions in hamsters [ 16 ] and anti-depressant- and anxiety (anxiolytic)-like behaviors in rats. [ 17 ]
Also, unlike vasopressin 1b receptor and oxytocin knockout mice, AVPR1A knockout mice have a normal Bruce effect (appropriate failure of pregnancy in presence of novel male). [ 17 ] Although activation of AVPR1A is a major mediator of anxiogenesis in males, it is not in females.
The actions of vasopressin are mediated by stimulation of tissue-specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called vasopressin receptors that are classified into the V 1 (V 1A), V 2, and V 3 (V 1B) receptor subtypes. [1]

The willingness of the female rats to access males was considered a direct measure of the females' levels of sexual motivation. An increase in vasopressin has been observed in female rats which have just given birth. Vasopressin is associated with aggressive and hostile behaviours, and is postulated to decrease sexual motivation in females.

In the U.S., the numbers of rats and mice used are not reported, but estimates range from around 11 million [3] to approximately 100 million. [4] In 2000, the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress, published the results of an analysis of its Rats/Mice/and Birds Database: Researchers, Breeders, Transporters, and Exhibitors.
Scientists have observed these effects by studying mice with specific natriuretic peptides or receptors removed. [ 3 ] Natriuretic peptides have a wide range of physiological effects that include the regulation of blood pressure, fluid and electrolyte balance, and cardiovascular function. [ 1 ]
