  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats with subcutaneous beta-TCP implants, oxytocin-loaded beta-TCP clearly enhanced ectopic bone formation compared with unloaded control.

    In plain wordsIn rats, a bone substitute loaded with oxytocin produced more bone under the skin than the same material without oxytocin.

    Summary · context
    Both the ectopic and new bone formation induced by the OT-loaded microporous β-TCP powder was histomorphometrically compared with unloaded β-TCP in a subcutaneous ectopic bone formation model and calvarial critical-sized defects (CSDs) in 45 rats.
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats with subcutaneous beta-TCP implants, the high initial oxytocin dose (250 μg) significantly increased ectopic bone formation at an early time-point compared with the lower dose (50 μg).

    In plain wordsIn rats, a higher oxytocin dose on the bone substitute gave more early bone formation than a lower dose.

  3. 03AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In rats with calvarial critical-sized defects, oxytocin-loaded samples showed greater new bone formation than unloaded samples.

    In plain wordsIn rats with skull bone defects, samples loaded with oxytocin grew more new bone than samples without it.
