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 paraventricular nucleus, 82% of neuromedin U-sensitive neurons expressed oxytocin mRNA.

    In plain wordsIn rats, most neurons that respond to neuromedin U (82%) made the body's own oxytocin messenger RNA.

    Summary · context
    We have characterized the neuromedin U (NMU)-sensitive neurons in the rat paraventricular nucleus (PVN) using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and single-cell reverse transcription-multiplex polymerase chain reaction (single-cell RT-mPCR).

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