No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

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.

  1. 01HumanNot a test of Oxytocin aloneObservational studyMechanism

    In a genome-wide cross-disorder analysis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression, pleiotropic variants were enriched for the oxytocin receptor-mediated signaling pathway.

    In plain wordsIn a genetic study of three mental disorders, shared gene variants were linked to the oxytocin receptor signaling pathway.

    Summary · context
    We analyzed SCZ, BP, and MDD genome-wide association datasets available from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium using the PLEIO framework and characterized the pleiotropic loci identified using pathway and tissue enrichment analyses.
