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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Brain-based health visiting: How neuroscience is shaping practice [PDF]
, 2014 Health visitors have always been faced with change and challenge to their role, partly as a result of health visiting being underpinned by a set of 'soft' skills that are difficult to articulate.
