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 …

There is growing evidence that oxytocin (OXT), a hypothalamic hormone well recognized for
its effects in inducing parturition and lactation, has important metabolic effects in both sexes …

The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest
that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age …

Objective: There is increased interest in measuring peripheral oxytocin levels to better
understand the role of this peptide in mammalian behavior, physiology, and disease. The …

Objective Preclinical studies indicate that oxytocin is anorexigenic and has beneficial
metabolic effects. Oxytocin effects on nutrition and metabolism in humans are not well …

Is oxytocin the hormone of happiness? Probably not. However, this small nine amino acid
peptide is involved in a wide variety of physiological and pathological functions such as …

Apart from its role during labor and lactation, oxytocin is involved in several other functions.
Interestingly, oxytocin-and oxytocin receptor-deficient mice develop late-onset obesity with …

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 …

Objective Age-related bone loss is associated with significant changes in bone remodeling
characterized by decreased trabecular and periosteal bone formation relative to bone …

We report that oxytocin (OT), a primitive neurohypophyseal hormone, hitherto thought solely
to modulate lactation and social bonding, is a direct regulator of bone mass. Deletion of OT …
