Oxytocin (OT) emerges as a drug for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. The entire OT
system is synthesized in the rat and human heart. The direct myocardial infusion with OT into …

Oxytocin (OT) is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism and in the activation of
cardioprotective mechanisms. We evaluated whether chronic treatment with OT could …

Traditionally associated with female reproduction, oxytocin (OT) was revisited recently and
was revealed to have several new roles in the cardiovascular system. Functional OT …

Principal limitation of cell therapy is cell loss after transplantation because of the interplay
between ischemia, inflammation, and apoptosis. We investigated the mechanism of …

Oxytocin (OT), traditionally associated with reproductive functions, was revisited recently,
and several new functions in cardiovascular regulation were discovered. These functions …

The beneficial effects of oxytocin on infarct size and functional recovery of the ischemic
reperfused heart are well documented. The mechanisms for this cardioprotection are not …

Based on the ancient role of oxytocin and its homologues as amplifiers of reproduction we
argue for an evolutionary coupling of oxytocin to signaling pathway which support …

Oxytocin (OT) stimulates cardioprotection. Here we investigated heart-derived H9c2 cells in
simulated ischemia–reperfusion (I–R) experiments in order to examine the mechanism of OT …

We have recently shown that an entire oxytocin (OT) system, a peptide and its cognate
receptors, is synthesized in the heart. In fetal and newborn hearts, OT exists in its extended …

Regular physical activity is beneficial in preventing the risk of cardiovascular complications
of diabetes. Recent studies showed a cardioprotective role of oxytocin (OT) to induce …
