Oxytocin Attenuates the Stress-Induced Reinstatement of Alcohol-Seeking in Male Rats: Role of the Central Amygdala

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
Factors such as stress and anxiety often contribute to alcohol-dependent behavior and can trigger a relapse of alcohol addiction and use. Therefore, it is important to investigate potential pharmacological interventions that may alleviate the influence ...

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 ...

The oxytocin/vasopressin receptor antagonist atosiban delays the gastric emptying of a semisolid meal compared to saline in human

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2006
Background Oxytocin is released in response to a meal. Further, mRNA for oxytocin and its receptor have been found throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Beyond happiness: Building a science of discrete positive emotions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
While trait positive emotionality and state positive-valence affect have long been the subject of intense study, the importance of differentiating among several "discrete" positive emotions has only recently begun to receive serious attention.

Uterine receptor activation in response to uterotonic agents in late-pregnancy rat myometrium following pretreatment with oxytocin: an in vitro study

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2021
Background: Long term exposure to oxytocin reduces the ability of myometrium to respond to oxytocin, leading to oxytocin receptor (OXTR) desensitization.

Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age-specific factors responsible for this phenomenon are largely unknown.

Androgen Receptor and Vasopressin Receptor (AVPR1a) Genetic Polymorphisms are not associated with Marital Status or Fertility among Ariaal Men of Northern Kenya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A growing body of scholarship implicates testosterone and vasopressin in male reproductive behavior, including in humans. Since hormones exert their effects through their respective receptors, an open question has been whether genetic polymorphisms in ...

Estrous behavior in dairy cows: identification of underlying mechanisms and gene functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Selection in dairy cattle for a higher milk yield has coincided with declined fertility. One of the factors is reduced expression of estrous behavior. Changes in systems that regulate the estrous behavior could be manifested by altered gene expression ...
