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.

    Resequencing of the oxytocin/neurophysin I gene and flanking regions identified 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms, all noncoding, including eight novel ones.

    In plain wordsGene sequencing near the oxytocin gene found 14 small DNA variants, all outside the protein-coding part, and eight were new.

    Summary · context
    We aimed to determine the normal pattern of variation around the oxytocin gene and resequenced it and its flanking regions in 91 individuals from four HapMap populations and one chimpanzee.

    In this study, Oxytocin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Oxytocin.

    An HKA test showed more variation in the oxytocin gene region within the human population than the chimpanzee-human divergence predicted.

    In plain wordsA gene test found more variation in the oxytocin gene region among humans than expected from the difference between humans and chimpanzees.

    Summary
    Population genetic analyses were largely consistent with a neutral evolutionary history, but an Hudson-Kreitman-Aguadé (HKA) test revealed more variation within the human population than expected from the level of chimpanzee-human divergence.
