Oxytocin, oxytocin-associated neurophysin and the oxytocin receptor in the human prostate
Cell and Tissue Research, 2004Oxytocin has been implicated in the regulation of prostate growth. However, the cellular localisation of oxytocin in the normal and diseased human prostate is not known. Oxytocin, oxytocin-associated neurophysin and oxytocin receptor were detected by immunohistochemistry in tissues from patients undergoing routine prostatectomy and in normal human ...

Oxytocin-induced desensitization of the oxytocin receptor
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2003The purpose of this study was to characterize the oxytocin-induced desensitization of oxytocin-stimulated rises of intracellular calcium in cultured human myocytes.Culture lines were begun from biopsy specimens of myometrium that had been obtained from women who underwent low transverse cesarean deliveries.

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.

The small peptide hormone oxytocin has long been recognized as a key factor in the natural induction of the birth process at the end of pregnancy, as well as in the release of milk upon suckling by the infant. It has additional roles within the brain to modulate the control of the sodium balance as well as several maternal, affiliative and sexually ...

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.

OT is a mammalian and holocephalan nonapeptide. OT has an intramolecular ring structure and a C-terminal extension with a neutral amino acid residue at position 8. The OT gene is located in the vicinity of the VP gene in a tail-to-tail configuration. OT is involved in parturition and lactation, and a single form of OTR mediates OT actions. Mice lacking

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide that regulates physiology and behaviors associated with reproduction as well as other social and nonsocial behaviors. The actions of oxytocin are mediated by a single G protein-coupled receptor distributed in many peripheral tissues and specific brain areas.

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.

Loss of myometrial oxytocin receptors during oxytocin-induced and oxytocin-augmented labour [PDF]
Reproduction, 2000 Oxytocin is used widely for the induction and augmentation of labour, but there is little information about the dynamics of oxytocin receptors in human myometrium during parturition, and the possible effect of oxytocin infusion. This information is important because G protein-coupled receptors, such as the oxytocin receptor, undergo desensitization ...

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 ...
