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 patients having upper abdominal surgery, the plasma oxytocin response was blocked by epidural analgesia at the C8-T2 level.

    In plain wordsIn surgery patients, the body's own oxytocin response was blocked when epidural pain relief reached the C8-T2 level.

    Summary
    The responses of oxytocin (OXT) and prolactin (PRL) were more susceptible to epidural analgesia and were blocked at the C8-T2 level.

    Summary · context
    To clarify the bases for this failure, we compared the effects of epidural analgesia of different dermatome levels up to C8-T2 or C3-4.
