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.

    Summary
    The pars intermedia of the pituitary in the rabbit and hare is abundantly innervated by axons reacting selectively with antibodies against oxytocin.

    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.

    In rabbit and hare pars intermedia tissue, axons reactive with oxytocin antibodies contained dense secretory vesicles about 140 nm in diameter, smaller than neural-lobe neurosecretory vesicles.

    Summary
    These axons contain dense secretory vesicles about 140 nm in diameter, i.e., smaller than those in the neurosecretory axons of the neural lobe.
