  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In animals with mouse mammary, mouse colon or rat mammary carcinoma xenografts, oxytocin and the analog F314 each inhibited tumor growth.

    In plain wordsIn mice and rats with transplanted tumors, oxytocin and a related analog slowed tumor growth.

    Summary · context
    In all cases, proliferation was previously assessed by cell counting in cultured cell lines, whereas tumor growth was checked by serial measures of tumor volume and by evaluation of tumor weight at the end of the experiment.
    Summary · context
    The effects of oxytocin (OT) and the OT-analogue F314 were investigated an xenografts of mouse mammary and colon carcinomas (TS/A and C26 tumors) and of rat mammary carcinoma (D-R3230AC).
