1. Plasma concentrations of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and mesotocin (MT), arterial pH and pCO2, body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, packed cell volume and plasma osmolality were monitored in birds for 28 h following anaesthesia and carotid cannulation. 2. Plasma MT concentration decreased after 6 h of surgical recovery but there were no differences between 6 and 28 h of recovery. 3. In contrast, plasma AVT concentration was raised only after 27 h, but no differences were observed between 3 and 28 h of recovery. 4. Anaesthesia and/or carotid cannulation apparently suppressed AVT and enhanced MT release, but no significant change in either hormone was observed after 6 h of surgical recovery under the conditions specified in this study.

D008297	Male		Males
D010121	Oxytocin	A nonapeptide hormone released from the neurohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, POSTERIOR). It differs from VASOPRESSIN by two amino acids at residues 3 and 8. Oxytocin acts on SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS, such as causing UTERINE CONTRACTIONS and MILK EJECTION.	Ocytocin,Pitocin,Syntocinon

D002645	Chickens	Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA.	Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D006863	Hydrogen-Ion Concentration	The normality of a solution with respect to HYDROGEN ions; H+. It is related to acidity measurements in most cases by pH	pH,Concentration, Hydrogen-Ion,Concentrations, Hydrogen-Ion,Hydrogen Ion Concentration,Hydrogen-Ion Concentrations
D000758	Anesthesia	A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014668	Vasotocin	A nonapeptide that contains the ring of OXYTOCIN and the side chain of ARG-VASOPRESSIN with the latter determining the specific recognition of hormone receptors. Vasotocin is the non-mammalian vasopressin-like hormone or antidiuretic hormone regulating water and salt metabolism.	3-Isoleucyl Vasopressin,Arginine Oxytocin,Arginine Vasotocin,Argiprestocin,Vasopressin, Isoleucyl,Vasopressin, Non-Mammalian,(8-Arginine)Oxytocin,Argiprestocine,3 Isoleucyl Vasopressin,Isoleucyl Vasopressin,Non-Mammalian Vasopressin,Oxytocin, Arginine,Vasopressin, 3-Isoleucyl,Vasopressin, Non Mammalian,Vasotocin, Arginine
