Oxytocin Increases Bias, but not Accuracy, in Face Recognition Line-Ups [PDF]
, 2014 Previous work indicates that intranasal inhalation of oxytocin improves face recognition skills, raising the possibility that it may be used in security settings. However, it is unclear whether oxytocin directly acts upon the core face-processing system

Oxytocin Modulates Nociception as an Agonist of Pain-Sensing TRPV1
Cell 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 ...

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2019 Background Oxytocin is a key hormone in childbirth, and synthetic oxytocin is widely administered to induce or speed labour. Due to lack of synthetized knowledge, we conducted a systematic review of maternal plasma levels of oxytocin during physiological

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

Characterization and Expression of Oxytocin and the Oxytocin Receptor
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2000 Oxytocin, a nonapeptide hormone and neurotransmitter, is expressed in a variety of tissues, as are its receptors. In vivo, oxytocin acts as a paracrine and/or autocrine mediator of multiple biological effects. These effects are exerted primarily through interactions with G-protein-coupled oxytocin/vasopressin receptors, which, via G(q) and G(i ...

Barriers and Breakthroughs in Targeting the Oxytocin System to Treat Alcohol Use Disorder
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022 Development of better treatments for alcohol use disorder (AUD) is urgently needed. One promising opportunity for this development is the potential of targeting the oxytocin peptide system.

Oxytocin and social pretreatment have similar effects on processing of negative emotional faces in healthy adult males [PDF]
, 2013 Oxytocin has been shown to affect several aspects of human social cognition, including facial emotion processing. There is also evidence that social stimuli (such as eye-contact) can effectively modulate endogenous oxytocin levels.

Sex and hormonal status influence the anxiolytic-like effect of oxytocin in mice
Neurobiology of Stress, 2023 Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent psychiatric disorders, affecting approximately 18% of the United States population. Evidence indicates that central oxytocin mediates social cognition, social bonding, and social anxiety.

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 ...
