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 healthy women, salivary transferrin levels, a marker of blood contamination, correlated positively with salivary oxytocin measured by immunoassay.

    In plain wordsIn healthy women, blood contamination in saliva samples was linked to higher measured salivary oxytocin.

    Summary · context
    Saliva and serum samples were collected from 38 healthy, medication-free women (mean age=33.8±7.3yr.; range=19-45).

    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.

    In healthy women, the analysis suggested avoiding saliva samples with transferrin above 0.64 mg/dl for salivary oxytocin analysis.

    In plain wordsIn healthy women, saliva samples with transferrin above a set level should be avoided when measuring oxytocin.

    Summary
    Our analyses suggest that transferrin levels higher than 0.80, 0.92 and 0.64mg/dl should be avoided for testosterone, progesterone and oxytocin salivary analyses, respectively.
