The complexity of oxytocin-mediated functions is strongly associated with its modulatory
effects on other neurotransmission systems, including the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5 …

The oxytocin receptor (OTR) and the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (5-HTR2A) are
expressed in similar brain regions modulating central pathways critical for social and …

In the last 10 years, it has become increasingly clear that large numbers of axon collaterals
extend from the oxytocin (OXT) hypothalamic axons, especially the parvocellular …

The neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) have been shown to play a central
role in social behaviors; as a consequence, they have been recognized as potential drugs to …

The oxytocin receptor was first identified using a pharmacological ligandbinding assay in the
rat myometrium (Soloff and Swartz 1973). Its peptide ligand, oxytocin, belongs to the …

Both animal and human studies have provided conclusive evidence that oxytocin (OXT) acts
in the brain (eg, medial preoptic area, ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens) to …

Oxytocin (OT), a hypothalamic neuropeptide involved in regulating the social behaviour of
all vertebrates, has been proposed as a treatment for a number of neuropsychiatric …

The many facets of the oxytocin (OXT) system of the brain and periphery elicited nearly
25,000 publications since 1930 (see, as listed in PubMed), which revealed central roles for …

Analogues of oxytocin containing D-Trp, 2-amino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-
carboxylic acid (Atc) or 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-1-carboxylic acid (Car) with R or S …

New insights into the structure− activity relationship of the peptide hormone oxytocin are
presented. Incorporation of the novel cis-prolyl mimic 2, 2-dimethyl-1, 3-thiazolidine-4 …
