Oxytocin, feeding and satiety [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

The oxytocin paradox [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesComprehensive 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 ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Salivary and plasmatic oxytocin are not reliable trait markers of the physiology of the oxytocin system in humans

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Single measurements of salivary and plasmatic oxytocin are used as indicators of the physiology of the oxytocin system. However, questions remain about whether they are sufficiently stable to provide valid trait markers of the physiology of the oxytocin ...

Maternal body mass index and oxytocin in augmentation of labour in nulliparous women: a prospective observational study

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2021
Objective To evaluate oxytocin use for augmentation of labour in relation to body mass index (BMI) on admission to the labour ward, focusing on cumulative oxytocin dose and maximum rate of oxytocin infusion during the first stage of labour.Design ...

Developmental disruption of amygdala transcriptome and socioemotional behavior in rats exposed to valproic acid prenatally

open access: yesMolecular Autism, 2017
Background The amygdala controls socioemotional behavior and has consistently been implicated in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Precocious amygdala development is commonly reported in ASD youth with the degree of overgrowth positively ...

Microbial stimulation of oxytocin release from the intestinal epithelium via secretin signaling

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2023
Intestinal microbes impact the health of the intestine and organs distal to the gut. Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a human intestinal microbe that promotes normal gut transit, the anti-inflammatory immune system, wound healing, normal social behavior in

Oxytocin Modulates Nociception as an Agonist of Pain-Sensing TRPV1

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Oxytocin is a hormone with various actions. Oxytocin-containing parvocellular neurons project to the brainstem and spinal cord. Oxytocin release from these neurons suppresses nociception of inflammatory pain, the molecular mechanism of which ...

17β-estradiol upregulates oxytocin and the oxytocin receptor in C2C12 myotubes [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Background The endocrinology of skeletal muscle is highly complex and many issues about hormone action in skeletal muscle are still unresolved. Aim of the work is to improve our knowledge on the relationship between skeletal muscle and 17β-estradiol ...
