Oxytocin and social pretreatment have similar effects on processing of negative emotional faces in healthy adult males [PDF]

, 2013
Oxytocin has been shown to affect several aspects of human social cognition, including facial emotion processing. There is also evidence that social stimuli (such as eye-contact) can effectively modulate endogenous oxytocin levels.

Molecular Mechanisms of Oxytocin Signaling at the Synaptic Connection

Neural Plasticity, 2018
Aberrant regulation of oxytocin signaling is associated with the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. Synaptic dysfunctions in neurodevelopmental disorders are becoming increasingly known, and their pathogenic mechanisms could be a target of ...

Vasopressinergic modulation of stress responses in the central amygdala of the Roman high-avoidance and low-avoidance rat [PDF]

, 1992
The central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) is selectively involved in the passive component of the behavioral (immobility) and the accompanying parasympathetic response during conditioned, stressful environmental challenges. Vasopressinergic mechanisms in

Oxytocin Protects Nigrostriatal Dopamine Signal via Activating GABAergic Circuit in the MPTP‐Induced Parkinson's Disease Model

Advanced Science
The most pronounced neuropathological feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc), which depletes striatal DA.

Microbial lysate upregulates host oxytocin [PDF]

, 2017
Neuropeptide hormone oxytocin has roles in social bonding, energy metabolism, and wound healing contributing to good physical, mental and social health. It was previously shown that feeding of a human commensal microbe Lactobacillus reuteri (L.

Characterization and Expression of Oxytocin and the Oxytocin Receptor

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2000
Oxytocin, a nonapeptide hormone and neurotransmitter, is expressed in a variety of tissues, as are its receptors. In vivo, oxytocin acts as a paracrine and/or autocrine mediator of multiple biological effects. These effects are exerted primarily through interactions with G-protein-coupled oxytocin/vasopressin receptors, which, via G(q) and G(i ...

Angiotensin-(1-7) increases osmotic water permeability in isolated toad skin [PDF]

, 2000
Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) increased osmotic water permeability in the isolated toad skin, a tissue with functional properties similar to those of the distal mammalian nephron. Concentrations of 0.1 to 10 μM were effective, with a peak at 20 min. This
