Oxytocin, a nonapeptide hormone, has a key role in female reproductive functions as well as
in social memory in the brain. In our recent Communications Biology article, we reported that …

Oxytocin sets the stage for childbirth by initiating uterine contractions, lactation and maternal
bonding behaviours. Mice lacking secreted oxcytocin (Oxt−/−, Cd38−/−) or its receptor …

Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide, which can be seen to be one of the molecules of the
decade due to its profound prosocial effects in nonvertebrate and vertebrate species …

This review examines the hypothesis that oxytocin pathways—which include the
neuropeptide oxytocin, the related peptide vasopressin, and their receptors—are at the …

The hypothalamic peptide oxytocin and its receptor are involved in a range of physiological
processes, including parturition, lactation, cell growth, wound healing, and social behavior …

Chronic stressors, such as chronic isolation in social mammals, can elevate glucocorticoids,
which can affect cellular mechanisms of aging, including increased levels of oxidative stress …

Oxytocin is a nonapeptide consisting of a cyclic six amino-acid structure and a tail of three
amino acids. It was originally known for its ability to induce milk ejection and to stimulate …

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) is rapidly moving from a molecule with interesting effects in
model systems to an important mediator of a range of human social behaviors. In this issue …

An ever-growing body of evidence suggests that the hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin
plays a central role in the regulation of mammalian social behavior and relationships. Yet …

Oxytocin (OT) is a nonapeptide mainly produced in the supraoptic and paraventricular
nuclei. OT in the brain and blood has extensive functions in both mental and physical …
