BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2019 Background Oxytocin is a key hormone in childbirth, and synthetic oxytocin is widely administered to induce or speed labour. Due to lack of synthetized knowledge, we conducted a systematic review of maternal plasma levels of oxytocin during physiological

Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age-specific factors responsible for this phenomenon are largely unknown.

Oxytocin pathway gene networks in the human brain
Nature Communications, 2019 Oxytocin is a neuropeptide involved in animal and human reproductive and social behavior. Three oxytocin signaling genes have been frequently implicated in human social behavior: OXT (structural gene for oxytocin), OXTR (oxytocin receptor), and CD38 ...
