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 hypophysectomized mice, plasticity of oxytocin-containing fibres in the median eminence did not differ between young and old animals.

    In plain wordsIn mice, the body's own oxytocin nerve fibres changed in the same way in young and old animals.
