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 beef heifers given an intravenous oxytocin challenge, the PGFM concentration on day 15 was greater on the highest level of fish oil supplementation than on the control diet.
In plain wordsIn heifers, a diet with the most fish oil raised the prostaglandin response to an oxytocin challenge on day 15 compared with the control diet.

Summary · context
On days 15 and 16 of the cycle, oxytocin was administered intravenously and the prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) response was measured as venous concentrations of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF(2alpha) (PGFM).
