Results from this study2

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Oxytocin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Oxytocin.

  1. 01LabNot a test of Oxytocin aloneEx vivo tissueMechanism

    In rat hypothalamus, binding of the muscarinic probe [3H]QNB showed a relative absence of binding associated with magnocellular vasopressin and oxytocin cell groups.

    In plain wordsIn rat tissue, a muscarinic receptor probe bound little to the cell groups that make oxytocin and vasopressin.

    Summary
    Analysis of autoradiographic silver grains from [3H]QNB binding revealed a relative absence of binding associated with magnocellular VP and OT cell groups in the hypothalamus.

    In this study, Oxytocin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Oxytocin.

  2. 02LabNot a test of Oxytocin aloneEx vivo tissueMechanism

    In rat hypothalamus, silver grains from the putative nicotinic probe [125I]alpha-bungarotoxin were distributed over both vasopressin and oxytocin immunoreactive neurons and processes.

    In plain wordsIn rat tissue, a nicotinic receptor probe bound to neurons that make oxytocin and vasopressin.

    Summary
    Autoradiographic silver grains were distributed over both VP and OT immunoreactive neurons and processes.

    In this study, Oxytocin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Oxytocin.
