Oxytocin is a nonapeptide hormone that participates in the regulation of parturition and
lactation. It has also been implicated in various behaviors, such as mating and maternal, and …

Oxytocin, a neurohypophyseal hormone, has been traditionally considered essential for
mammalian reproduction. In addition to uterine contractions during labor and milk ejection …

This paper examines the developmental effects of the mammalian neuropeptide, oxytocin
(OT). In adults, OT is the most abundant neuropeptide in the hypothalamus and serves …

Oxytocin, the peptide well-known for its hormonal role in parturition and lactation, is present
in several extrahypothalamic brain areas besides the neurohyophyseal system. The peptide …

A baby sucks at a mother's breast for comfort and, of course, for milk. Milk is made in

Since 1906 when its uterine-contracting properties were described until 50 years later when …

Oxytocin is widely believed to be present and structurally identical in all placental mammals.
Here, we report that multiple species of New World monkeys possess a novel form of …

ABSTRACT A detailed secretory profile of oxytocin during suckling and parturition was
determined in unanaesthetized freely moving rats. Ten pups were reunited with their …

Oxytocin was the first peptide hormone whose chemical identity could be coupled to a
reproductive function. As early as 1906, it was recognized by Sir Henry Dale that extracts of …
