, 1995 This study aimed to establish the site at which morphine acts to inhibit oxytocin release in response to peripheral administration of cholecystokinin (CCK). Conscious rats were given morphine or vehicle followed by CCK or vehicle (I.V.).

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion Associated with Pramipexole in a Patient with Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Journal of Movement Disorders, 2011 The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) can be caused by a variety of drugs. Dopaminergic drugs might enhance the secretion of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin by reducing γ-amino butyric acid release through the

Kisspeptin Activation of Supraoptic Nucleus Neurons in Vivo [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2011 Oxytocin and vasopressin are synthesized by magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei and are released from the posterior pituitary gland into the circulation. Intravenous administration of the ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor 54 receptor, kisspeptin-10, increases plasma oxytocin levels and ...

Fluorescent visualization of oxytocin in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Oxytocin (OXT) is well known for its ability to the milk ejection reflex and uterine contraction. It is also involved in several other behaviors, such as anti-nociception, anxiety, feeding, social recognition and stress responses.

Relative number and distribution of murine hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin neurons innervating distinct target sites. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons send projections widely throughout the brain consistent with their role in regulating numerous homeostatic processes and mediating analgesia and reward.

Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice
eLife, 2022 Decades of studies have revealed molecular and neural circuit bases for body weight homeostasis. Neural hormone oxytocin (Oxt) has received attention in this context because it is produced by neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), a ...

Spatial Transcriptomics of Supraoptic Nucleus and Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus release oxytocin (OXY) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) into the peripheral circulation, playing a key role in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.

PIP2 alters Ca2+ currents in acutely dissociated supraoptic oxytocin neurons
Physiological Reports, 2019 Magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) occupying the supraoptic nucleus (SON) contain voltage‐gated Ca2+ channels that provide Ca2+ for triggering vesicle release, initiating signaling pathways, and activating channels, such as the potassium channels ...
