Oxytocin, feeding and satiety [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Oxytocin neurones have a physiological role in food intake and energy balance. Central administration of oxytocin is powerfully anorexigenic, reducing food intake and meal duration.

Visualization of oxytocin release that mediates paired pulse facilitation in hypothalamic pathways to brainstem autonomic neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Recent work has shown that oxytocin is involved in more than lactation and uterine contraction. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) contains neuroendocrine neurons that control the release of hormones, including vasopressin and oxytocin.

Oxytocin receptors influence the development and maintenance of social behavior in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Scientific Reports, 2022
Zebrafish are highly social teleost fish and an excellent model to study social behavior. The neuropeptide Oxytocin is associated different social behaviors as well as disorders resulting in social impairment like autism spectrum disorder.

Transactivation of TrkB Receptors by Oxytocin and Its G Protein-Coupled Receptor

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) binds to the TrkB tyrosine kinase receptor, which dictates the sensitivity of neurons to BDNF. A unique feature of TrkB is the ability to be activated by small molecules in a process called transactivation.

Oxytocin Reduces Intravesical Pressure in Anesthetized Female Rats: Action on Oxytocin Receptors of the Urinary Bladder

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Urinary bladder dysfunction affects several people worldwide and shows higher prevalence in women. Micturition is dependent on the Barrington’s nucleus, pontine urine storage center and periaqueductal gray matter, but other brain stem areas are involved ...

Involvement of central opiate receptors in modulation of centrally administered oxytocin-induced antinociception [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2018
Objective(s): Oxytocin is involved in modulation of many brain-mediated functions. In the present study, we investigated the central effects of oxytocin and its receptor antagonist, atosiban on inflammatory pain.

Regulators of G protein signalling proteins in the human myometrium [PDF]

, 2009
The contractile state of the human myometrium is controlled by extracellular signals that promote relaxation or contraction. Many of these signals function through G proteincoupled receptors at the cell surface, stimulating heterotrimeric G proteins and ...

Skeletal muscle: a significant novel neurohypophyseal hormone-secreting organ [PDF]

, 2019
Vasopressin (arg8-vasopressin) and oxytocin are closely relalated hormones, synthesized as pre-hormones in the magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular Q6 and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus.
