In cows with microdialysis in the corpus luteum, intraluteal oxytocin release reached 950% within 4 h after PGF2alpha injection.
In plain wordsIn cows, the body's own oxytocin in the corpus luteum rose sharply within 4 hours after a luteolysis-inducing injection.

Intraluteal release of ET-1 increased (p < 0.05) to 160% within 4 h after PGF2alpha injection, when an enormous OT release (to 950%) occurred, which reached a plateau of 250% after 20 h that persisted until 72 h.

In the second study, a microdialysis system (MDS) was surgically implanted into the CL of 11 cows in the midluteal phase.
A PGF2alpha analogue (cloprostenol; 500 microg) was then injected (designated as 0 h) i.m. to induce luteolysis.
This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
