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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

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 aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In primary rat testicular myoid cells, oxytocin receptors were not expressed before or after puberty.

    In plain wordsIn rat testis cells grown in the lab, oxytocin receptors were absent at every stage of development.
