EVIDENCE has recently been produced that, in the rat, oxytocin is synthesized in the paraventricular nucleus1. After small electrolytic lesions in this region a decrease in the amount of oxytocin was found in the posterior pituitary with no change in its vaso-pressin content.

Current Biology
Oxytocin is a small, nine amino acid peptide synthesized and released mostly in the brain. It was discovered first as a hormone that facilitates labor and lactation but has since attracted interest for having important roles in social bonding. Although sometimes informally called a 'love hormone', this is erroneous and does not accurately reflect the ...

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has a solid reputation as a facilitator of social interactions such as parental and pair bonding, trust, and empathy. The many results supporting a pro-social role of OT have generated the hypothesis that impairments in the endogenous OT system may lead to antisocial behavior, most notably social withdrawal or ...

Oxytocin and Oxytocin Receptors in Cancer Cells and Proliferation
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2004AbstractThe hypothalamic nonapeptide oxytocin plays a crucial role in many reproductive and behavioural functions. However, in recent years, an additional new role for oxytocin has been identified in neoplastic pathology. In tumours, oxytocin acts as a growth regulator, through the activation of a specific G‐coupled transmembrane receptor, the oxytocin

Synthetic oxytocin offers a safe and effective means of producing regular uterine activity and has a fairly large therapeutic index; however, the mild antidiuretic and vasoactive properties of oxytocin increase the risk of water intoxication and hypotension.

The evaluation of a radioimmunoassay of oxytocin is described. The method involved careful collection and transportation of blood at 4 °C, acidification of the plasma, extraction with Fuller's earth and radioimmunoassay using antisera raised in rabbits immunized against oxytocin conjugated to bovine serum albumin and 125I-labelled oxytocin.

Abstract An antibody to oxytocin has been developed. It has been shown to be specific, and a reproducible immunologic method of quantitation has been illustrated. The biologic activity of this small hormone appears to have been inhibited by antibody, and localization of this octapeptide in tissue has been demonstrated by immunofluorescence.

Novel sites of oxytocin receptor expression have recently been detected, including breast cancer cells, bone cells, myoblasts, cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells. These discoveries have greatly expanded the possible spectrum of oxytocin action beyond its classic role as an inducer of uterine contractions and milk ejection.

Oxytocin has potent central effects on feeding behaviour, as well as on social and sexual behaviours, and one likely substrate for its anorectic effect is the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. This nucleus expresses a high density of oxytocin receptors, but contains very few oxytocin-containing fibres, hence it is a likely target of ...

Determination of oxytocin in milk of cows administered oxytocin
Analytica Chimica Acta, 2009To address people's concerns of exogenous oxytocin (OT) administration to lactating bovines, a study was undertaken to (a) establish an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for OT determination in milk, (b) quantify OT in milk of cows administered OT, and (c) study influence of pasteurization on OT stability in milk.
