Elevated salivary levels of oxytocin persist more than seven hours after intranasal administration

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
We addressed the question how long salivary oxytocin levels remain elevated after intranasal administration, and whether it makes a difference when 16 IU or 24 IU of oxytocin administration is used.

Stopping Oxytocin in Active Labor Rather Than Continuing it until Delivery: A Viable Option for the Induction of Labor

Oman Medical Journal, 2015
Objective: Induction of labor (IOL), using intravenous oxytocin, is the artificial initiation of labor before its spontaneous onset for the purpose of delivery of the fetoplacental unit.

Involvement of Hyperpolarization-Activated Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channel 3 in Oxytocin Neuronal Activity in Lactating Rats With Pup Deprivation

ASN Neuro, 2020
Oxytocin, a hypothalamic neuropeptide essential for breastfeeding, is mainly produced in oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus.

Systemic effects of oxytocin on male sexual activity via the spinal ejaculation generator in rats

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2021
Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and stimulates uterine contraction and milk ejection. While many people consider oxytocin to be a female hormone, it is reported that, in men, the plasma oxytocin level increases markedly after ejaculation ...

PVNCRF Neurons Regulate Migraine‐Like Allodynia by Activating CRFR2 on Spinal Trigeminal Caudalis Glutamatergic Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Paraventricular CRF neurons in the hypothalamus project to glutamatergic neurons of the spinal trigeminal caudal nucleus, enhancing neuronal activation and CRFR2 signaling. This pathway increases CRF release and excitatory drive, promoting central sensitization and migraine‐related behaviors. Targeting the PVN–SP5C circuit provides a potential strategy
