2 days ago · Deleting the gene from these oxytocin neurons led to otherwise healthy mice showing similar signs of anxiety, overeating and impaired sociability, and, in the case of mothers, postnatal depression ...
1 day ago · In nature, female mice, like males, display aggression and dominant hierarchy. This study in wild mice identifies oxytocin-expressing neurons as a hub governing these behaviors, influencing the ...
2 days ago · Background/Objectives: Although oxytocin administration is recommended for delayed labor progress, there is no consensus over the preferred optimal dose of oxytocin. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of pregnancy outcomes comparing high-dose versus low-dose oxytocin regimens for augmentation of delayed labor. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for ...
1 day ago · Citation 8 Intravenous infusion of oxytocin is the most common medicated choice for labor induction. However, intravenous infusion of oxytocin alone for labor induction often has the disadvantages of prolonged birth process and difficulty for the puerpera to persist. Moreover, poor cervical ripeness has a negative impact on the puerpera.
4 days ago · Scientists have identified a gene which, when missing or impaired, can cause obesity, behavioural problems and, in mothers, postnatal depression. The discovery, reported today in Cell, may have wider implications for the treatment of postnatal depression, with a study in mice suggesting that oxytocin may alleviate symptoms.
1 day ago · Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) antagonists are a fascinating area of research that has garnered significant attention in recent years. These compounds have the ability to block the action of oxytocin, a hormone and neurotransmitter well-known for its roles in social bonding, reproduction, and various emotional states.
4 days ago · Summary: A new study has identified the TRPC5 gene as a cause of obesity, behavioral issues, and postnatal depression. Researchers found that missing or impaired TRPC5 genes disrupt oxytocin neurons, crucial for regulating appetite and emotions. This discovery offers potential new treatments, like using oxytocin to alleviate symptoms.
