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 rats, very few RVLM-projecting paraventricular neurons were immunoreactive for the oxytocin-associated neurophysin.

    In plain wordsIn rats, very few brain cells projecting to the medulla made the body's own oxytocin marker.

    Summary · context
    We sought to determine whether the PVH-RVLM projection activated by water deprivation is glutamatergic and/or contains vasopressin- or oxytocin-neurophysins.

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