With the growing frequency of preterm birth, increased effort has been made to elucidate the
physiology of normal and aberrant parturition. As with many developmental processes, the …

Oxytocin plays important roles in reproductive physiology and various behaviors, including
maternal behavior and social memory. Its receptor (Oxtr) is present in peripheral tissues and …

Oxytocin (Oxt), synthesized in magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular (PVN) and
supraoptic (SON) hypothalamic nuclei for transport to and release from the posterior …

Oxytocin (OXT) that is released centrally is believed to be anxiolytic and have stress-
attenuating effects. Oxytocin knockout (OXTKO) mice, a genetic model of OXT deficiency …

The nonapeptide oxytocin (OT) mediates a wide spectrum of biological action, many of them
related to reproduction. Recently, we have shown that OT exerts a trophic effect on uterine …

The dramatic increase of oxytocin (OT) receptor (OTR) in the myometrium as well as
circulating progesterone withdrawal has been thought to be the most important factor in the …

Oxytocin (OT), a nine-amino acid peptide, is synthesized primarily in magnocellular neurons
of the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, and transported to the posterior …

The fetal brain is thought to have a role in the onset and progression of labor. Evidence also
exists for fetal oxytocin release just before and during parturition. The present study …
