Chronic oxytocin administration as a treatment against impaired leptin signaling or leptin resistance in obesity

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
This review summarizes the existing literature on the effects of oxytocin administration in the treatment of obesity in different animal models and in humans, focusing on the central control of food intake, the oxytocin effects on adipose tissue and the ...

The oxytocin receptor, luteolysis and the maintenance of pregnancy.

Journal of reproduction and fertility. Supplement, 2019
During luteal regression episodic pulses of oxytocin secretion become coupled to the release of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) following synthesis of endometrial oxytocin receptors, but in early pregnancy the inhibition of oxytocin receptor ...

Reconstruction of the Hypothalamo-Neurohypophysial System and Functional Dissection of Magnocellular Oxytocin Neurons in the Brain

Neuron, 2020
The hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS), comprising hypothalamic magnocellular neuroendocrine cells (MNCs) and the neurohypophysis, plays a pivotal role in regulating reproduction and fluid homeostasis by releasing oxytocin and vasopressin into the

Touching the social robot PARO reduces pain perception and salivary oxytocin levels

Scientific Reports, 2020
Human-human social touch improves mood and alleviates pain. No studies have so far tested the effect of human-robot emotional touch on experimentally induced pain ratings, on mood and on oxytocin levels in healthy young adults.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single Doses of Oxytocin Administered via an Inhaled Route in Healthy Females: Randomized, Single-blind, Phase 1 Study

EBioMedicine, 2017
Background: The utility of intramuscular (IM) oxytocin for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in resource-poor settings is limited by the requirement for temperature-controlled storage and skilled staff to administer the injection.

Labor-associated gene expression in the human uterine fundus, lower segment, and cervix [PDF]

, 2006
Background Preterm labor, failure to progress, and postpartum hemorrhage are the common causes of maternal and neonatal mortality or morbidity. All result from defects in the complex mechanisms controlling labor, which coordinate changes in the ...

Gene Expression Profiling of Corpus luteum Reveals Important Insights about Early Pregnancy in Domestic Sheep [PDF]

, 2020
The majority of pregnancy loss in ruminants occurs during the preimplantation stage, which is thus the most critical period determining reproductive success. Here, we performed a comparative transcriptome study by sequencing total mRNA from corpus luteum

Oxytocin and the Neurobiology of Prosocial Behavior

The Neuroscientist, 2020
Humans are an unusually prosocial species, who engage in social behaviors that include altruism—whereby an individual engages in costly or risky acts to improve the welfare of another person—care, and cooperation. Current perspectives on the neurobiology
