Results from this study4

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

Natural levels measured4

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 levelRandomized controlled trialMechanism

    In healthy volunteers, salivary oxytocin did not change significantly from baseline to after a 5-min hand gesture task, in synchronous or asynchronous conditions.

    In plain wordsIn volunteers, the body's own oxytocin in saliva did not change after a short shared hand task, synchronised or not.

    Summary
    In Experiment 1, we found no significant differences between salivary OXT levels at baseline and after the 5-min task in either synchronous or asynchronous conditions.

    Summary · context
    In Experiment 1, 90 volunteers (65 women) performed either synchronous or asynchronous a 5-min hand gesture task with an unfamiliar partner.
    Summary · context
    Salivary OXT concentrations were measured before and after the gesture task (Experiment 1) or before, after and 10 min after the gesture task (Experiment 2).

    This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

  2. 02HumanEndogenous levelRandomized controlled trialMechanism

    In familiar dyads, salivary oxytocin decreased over time in the asynchronous condition.

    In plain wordsIn pairs who knew each other, the body's own oxytocin in saliva fell over time after an unsynchronised task.

    In Experiment 2, 67 familiar dyads of volunteers (47 female dyads) performed the same task.
    Summary · context
    Salivary OXT concentrations were measured before and after the gesture task (Experiment 1) or before, after and 10 min after the gesture task (Experiment 2).

  3. 03HumanEndogenous levelRandomized controlled trialMechanism

    In familiar dyads, salivary oxytocin stayed stable over time in the synchronous condition.

  4. 04HumanEndogenous levelRandomized controlled trialMechanism

    In familiar dyads, the effect of condition on salivary oxytocin was not moderated by closeness or attachment style.

    In plain wordsIn pairs who knew each other, closeness and attachment style did not change how the task affected the body's own oxytocin.
