Reunion with a peer partner reduces PVN oxytocin neuron immunoreactivity in socially selective voles

Scientific Reports
Friendships—i.e. selective peer relationships—are an important aspect of human behavior, but are rare in rodent species. Meadow voles are seasonally social rodents that form non-reproductive social groups in winter/short day lengths that are selective in

PARTO PREMATURO ASOCIADO A COLESTASIA INTRAHEPATICA DEL EMBARAZO: ROL DEL ACIDOCOLICO EN LA MODULACION DE LA VIA OCITOCINA-RECEPTOR DE OT EN EL MIOMETRIO

Revista Chilena de Obstetricia y Ginecología, 2002
Se ha reportado una asociación entre CIE y distrés fetal, muerte fetal in utero y síntomas de parto prematuro/parto prematuro. Con la hipótesis que en la CIE el aumento en los ácidos biliares, en particular ácido cólico, activa la vía ocitocina-receptor ...

The Multifaceted Role of Oxytocinergic System and OXTR Gene

Global Medical Genetics
The article explores the multifaceted role of the neuropeptide oxytocin in human behavior and its connection to the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene. Oxytocin, produced in specific brain nuclei, is implicated in emotional, social, and maternal behaviors ...

Oxytocin Receptors and Mammary Myoepithelial Cells

Journal of Dairy Science, 1982
Abstract Oxytocin causes milk ejection by the mammary gland by eliciting contraction of myoepithelial cells, which surround the epithelial cells of the alveoli and the finer ducts (18). Most of the work reported here has been done with lactating rats. In this species expulsion of milk is almost entirely dependent upon the action of oxytocin (5, 15, 16)

The evolution of oxytocin receptor signaling

Oxytocin is a neuromodulator and hormone that helps coordinate a variety of physiological and behavioral functions. Oxytocin exerts its diverse effects by binding to oxytocin receptors throughout the brain and the periphery, which initiates various signaling cascades. The location and distribution of oxytocin receptors can differ between species, which
