Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In adult female rhesus monkey hypothalamic tissue, cells containing ESN/oxytocin were evenly dispersed in the paraventricular nucleus.

    Summary · context
    The hypothalamic magnocellular system of the adult female rhesus monkey is studied here, using immunoperoxidase technique and antisera to estrogen stimulated neurophysin (ESN), nicotine stimulated neurophysin (NSN), oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP).

    This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
