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.

  1. 01AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In male rats, intracerebroventricular galanin-like peptide significantly increased plasma concentrations of the body's own oxytocin.

    In plain wordsIn rats, galanin-like peptide injected into the brain raised the body's own oxytocin levels in blood.

    1 context sentence
    Summary · context
    We examined the effects of stressful stimuli on expression of c-Fos protein in galanin-like peptide neurons, and the effects of central infusion of galanin-like peptide on release of stress hormones, vasopressin, oxytocin and adrenocorticotropic hormone, in male rats.

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