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 burn patients, lower oxytocin levels in eschar were associated with higher pain scores.

    In plain wordsIn burn patients, lower natural oxytocin in burn wound tissue was linked to more pain.
