Results from this study2

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

Natural levels measured2

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. 01HumanEndogenous levelObservational studyOther

    In patients with Addison's disease, the body's own plasma oxytocin was higher in those with elevated plasma ACTH than in patients and controls with normal or low ACTH.

    In plain wordsIn people with Addison's disease, the body's own oxytocin levels were higher when ACTH was high.

    Summary · context
    ACTH, galanin, vasopressin, and oxytocin were measured in plasma from 14 patients with Addison's disease, one patient with Nelson's syndrome, and 14 healthy controls.

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

    In patients with Addison's disease and healthy controls, the body's own plasma oxytocin showed no relation to age or sex.

    In plain wordsIn people with Addison's disease and healthy controls, the body's own oxytocin levels were not linked to age or sex.
