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 rat neurohypophysial terminals, large terminals (10 microm diameter or more) contained predominantly oxytocin.

    In plain wordsIn rat pituitary nerve endings, the larger endings held mostly the body's own oxytocin.

    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    We have identified two distinct populations of rat neurohypophysial (NHP) terminals distinguished by size, neuropeptide content and electrophysiological properties, including resting membrane potential, action potential (AP) properties, and K+ current and Na+ current characteristics.

    This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
