Dual Pathways Coupled to Oxytocin Molecular Signals in Cultured Astrocytes [PDF]

Cells
Oxytocin’s capacity to affect the glial cell functions is increasingly recognized. We previously reported that oxytocin could cause both excitation and inhibition of Ca2+ signals and glutamate release in the processes of adult rodent astrocytes.

Intramyometrial injection versus intravenous infusion of oxytocin for maintaining uterine contractility during elective caesarean delivery in a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Oxytocin is commonly administered during caesarean delivery (CD) to prevent postpartum haemorrhage as an initial bolus followed by a maintenance dose. Nearly half of perinatal centres in Japan utilise intramyometrial (IMY) oxytocin.

The oxytocin paradox [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
In 2005, Kosfeld et al. published their now seminal paper showing that intranasal oxytocin (OXT) administration increased interpersonal trust (Kosfeld et al., 2005). This finding spawned broad interest into the effects of OXT on social and emotional behavior in humans (Bos et al., 2012), and its implications for translational medicine (Meyer-Lindenberg

Oxytocin and the microbiome

Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2023
The mammalian host microbiome affects many targets throughout the body, at least in part through an integrated gut-brain-immune axis and neuropeptide hormone oxytocin. It was discovered in animal models that microbial symbionts, such as Lactobacillus reuteri, leverage perinatal niches to promote multigenerational good health and reproductive fitness ...

The importance of oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus for breastfeeding in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The hormone oxytocin, secreted from oxytocin neurons in the paraventricular (PVH) and supraoptic (SO) hypothalamic nuclei, promotes parturition, milk ejection, and maternal caregiving behaviors. Previous experiments with whole-body oxytocin knockout mice

Oxytocin exerts harmful cardiac repolarization prolonging effects in drug-induced LQTS

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: Oxytocin is used therapeutically in psychiatric patients. Many of these also receive anti-depressant or anti-psychotic drugs causing acquired long-QT-syndrome (LQTS) by blocking HERG/IKr.
