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 sheep, a 75% reduction of water intake for 72 h raised plasma oxytocin.

    In plain wordsIn sheep, cutting water intake raised the body's own oxytocin level in the blood.

    Summary · context
    Sheep which were predominantly urinary excretors (U) or faecal excretors (F) of sodium were exposed to a 75% reduction of water intake for 72 h.

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