Oxytocin, feeding and satiety [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Oxytocin neurones have a physiological role in food intake and energy balance. Central administration of oxytocin is powerfully anorexigenic, reducing food intake and meal duration.

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 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

α‐Melanocyte‐stimulating hormone inhibition of oxytocin neurons switches to excitation in late pregnancy and lactation

Physiological Reports, 2022
Oxytocin is secreted into the periphery by magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei (SON and PVN) to trigger uterine contraction during birth and milk ejection during suckling.

Maternal and newborn plasma oxytocin levels in response to maternal synthetic oxytocin administration during labour, birth and postpartum – a systematic review with implications for the function of the oxytocinergic system

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2023
Background The reproductive hormone oxytocin facilitates labour, birth and postpartum adaptations for women and newborns. Synthetic oxytocin is commonly given to induce or augment labour and to decrease postpartum bleeding.

Oxytocin-Trust Link in Oxytocin-Sensitive Participants and Those Without Autistic Traits

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
There have been numerous studies in which the biological role of oxytocin in trusting behavior has been investigated. However, a link between oxytocin and trust in humans was discovered only in one early study.

The Role of Oxytocin and the Effect of Stress During Childbirth: Neurobiological Basics and Implications for Mother and Child

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
The neuropeptide oxytocin acts as a hormone and a neuromodulator, influencing a multitude of human social behaviors, including reproduction. During childbirth and the postpartum period, it plays a key role in regulating and controlling processes that ...

A Synthesis of Oxytocin [PDF]

Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1965
Abstract N-Carbobenzoxy-S-methoxybenzyl-l-cysteinyl-l-tyrosyl-l-isoleucyl-l-glutaminyl-l-asparagin-yl-S-p-methoxybenzyl-l-cysteinyl-l-prolyl-l-leucylglycinamide (IX) was synthesized by the step-wise elongation method, and highly potent oxytocin was obtained from IX by treatment not only with sodium in liquid ammonia, but also with ...
