Results from this study1

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

Natural levels measured1

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 rat testis, oxytocin gene transcripts were not detectable by Northern hybridization, but the authentic hypothalamic-type RNA was detectable by PCR analysis.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the body's own oxytocin gene RNA in the testis was too scarce for one method but could be found by PCR.

    Summary
    Oxytocin gene transcripts are not detectable by Northern hybridization, but the authentic hypothalamic-type RNA can be detected in the rat testis using PCR analysis.

    Summary · context
    The vasopressin (VP) gene is expressed as three different transcripts in the rat testis.

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