Low intensity, non-noxious, stimulation of cutaneous somatosensory nerves has been
shown to trigger oxytocin release and is associated with increased social motivation, plus …

The hypothalamic neuroendocrine system is mainly composed of the neural structures
regulating hormone secretion from the pituitary gland and has been considered as the …

Abstract Oxytocin (OT) is a 9-amine neuropeptide that plays an essential role in mammalian
labor, lactation, maternal bonding, and social affiliation. OT has been reported to exert an …

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has emerged as an important anorexigen in the regulation
of food intake and energy balance. It has been shown that the release of OT and activation …

Oxytocin (OXT) is produced in the hypothalamic nuclei and secreted into systemic circulation
from the posterior pituitary gland. In the central nervous system, OXT regulates behaviours …

Despite the high incidence of neuropathic pain, its mechanism remains unclear. Oxytocin
(OXT) is an established endogenous polypeptide produced in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) …

Oxytocin (OXT) is a neuropeptide hormone that plays a critical role in nociception. Long‐
term potentiation (LTP) is a major form of synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a hypothalamic neurosecretory hormone well known as an
antidiuretic, and recently reported to be involved in pain modulation. The expression kinetics …

Oxytocin (OXT) was discovered in 1906 as a substance that promotes the pregnancy and
childbirth. It affects uterine contraction and lactation. Furthermore, as one of its physiological …
