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.

Oxytocin at physiological concentrations evokes adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from corticotrophs by increasing intracellular free calcium mobilized mainly from intracellular stores. Oxytocin displays synergistic or additive effects on ACTH-releasing factor or arginine vasopressin-induced ACTH secretion, respectively [PDF]
, 1992 The potency of oxytocin (OT) in evoking ACTH secretion by isolated, superfused rat adenohypophyseal corticotrophs and its enhancement by CRF and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were analyzed.

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2014 One of the most meaningful results recently achieved in bone research has been to reveal that the pituitary hormones have profound effect on bone, so that the pituitary-bone axis has become one of the major topics in skeletal physiology. Here, we discuss the relevant evidence about the posterior pituitary hormone oxytocin (OT), previously thought to ...

Oxytocin and Estrogen Receptor β in the Brain: An Overview
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015 Oxytocin is a neuropeptide synthesized primarily by neurons of the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. These neurons have axons that project into the posterior pituitary and release oxytocin into the bloodstream to promote labor ...

Increased Serum and Urinary Oxytocin Concentrations after Nasal Administration in Beagle Dogs
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017 In recent years more and more studies have revealed the effect of extraneous oxytocin on the social behavior of dogs. The distribution of administered oxytocin in different physiologically relevant compartments is important because this knowledge forms ...

Association between oxytocin receptor gene polymorphisms and self-rated 'empathic concern' in schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2012 The nonapeptide oxytocin (OXT) and its receptor (OXTR) have been implicated in social cognition, empathy, emotion and stress regulation in humans. Previous studies reported associations between OXT and OXTR genetic polymorphisms and risk for disorders ...

From autism to eating disorders and more: the role of oxytocin in neuropsychiatric disorders [PDF]
, 2016 Oxytocin (oxy) is a pituitary neuropeptide hormone synthesized from the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei within the hypothalamus. Like other neuropeptides, oxy can modulate a wide range of neurotransmitter and neuromodulator activities. Additionally,
