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.

  1. 03AnimalNot a test of Oxytocin aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In socially housed Siberian hamsters, an oxytocin antagonist delayed wound healing.

    In plain wordsIn hamsters housed with others, a drug that blocks oxytocin slowed wound healing.
