Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

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.

    In the medial prefrontal cortex, monogamous voles had higher oxytocin receptor binding density than promiscuous voles.

    In plain wordsIn voles, monogamous species had more oxytocin receptor binding in a brain area than promiscuous species.

    Summary
    monogamous voles had higher densities of D(2)-like and OT receptor binding

    Summary · context
    Therefore, we used radiolabeled ligands to examine dopamine D(1)- and D(2)-like, OT, and AVP V(1a) receptor binding densities in the mPFC of monogamous and promiscuous voles.
