Results from this study1

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.

    In Achatina PON neurons, the inward current induced by oxytocin was not affected by APGW-amide.

    In plain wordsIn snail neurons in the lab, APGW-amide did not change the current caused by oxytocin.

    Summary · context
    Modulatory effects of APGW-amide (Ala-Pro-Gly-Trp-NH2), proposed as an inhibitory neurotransmitter of Achatina neurons, perfused at 3 x 10(-6) M on the currents induced by neuroactive peptides, ejected by brief pressure, were examined by using Achatina giant neuron types, v-RCDN (ventral-right cereb…
