Increased Serum and Urinary Oxytocin Concentrations after Nasal Administration in Beagle Dogs

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Oxytocin and bone

open access: yesAmerican 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 ...

A Synthesis of Oxytocin [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1965
Abstract N-Carbobenzoxy-S-methoxybenzyl-l-cysteinyl-l-tyrosyl-l-isoleucyl-l-glutaminyl-l-asparagin-yl-S-p-methoxybenzyl-l-cysteinyl-l-prolyl-l-leucylglycinamide (IX) was synthesized by the step-wise elongation method, and highly potent oxytocin was obtained from IX by treatment not only with sodium in liquid ammonia, but also with ...

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

open access: yesOman 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

open access: yesASN 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

open access: yesCommunicative & 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 ...

Radioimmunoassay for Oxytocin

open access: yesEndocrinologia Japonica, 1974
A specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay method for oxytocin and its application to the measurement of human plasma oxytocin levels are described. Antiserum tooxytocin was prepared in guinea pigs by repeated subcutaneous injections of synthetic oxytocin emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant.

An overview of the oxytocin-oxytocin receptor signaling network [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Communication and Signaling, 2016
Oxytocin, a nine amino acid long neuropeptide hormone, is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored and released from the neural lobe of the pituitary gland. Although commonly known for its central role in the regulation of parturition and lactation, oxytocin signaling also plays a key role in modulating social behavior, evoking contentment ...

A Brain‐Wide Atlas of Astrocytic Oxytocin Receptors Reveals a Glial Basis for Nucleus Accumbens Modulation of Affiliative Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The cellular actors of oxytocin signaling are under intense scrutiny. A brain‐wide anatomical and functional analysis in mice and rats reveals widespread expression of oxytocin receptors in astrocytes. These receptors are functionally active and, in the nucleus accumbens, selectively regulate male social affiliation.

Oxytocin in the Male Reproductive Tract; The Therapeutic Potential of Oxytocin-Agonists and-Antagonists

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
In this review, the role of oxytocin and oxytocin-like agents (acting via the oxytocin receptor and belonging to the oxytocin-family) in the male reproductive tract is considered.
