Plasma oxytocin concentrations are lower in depressed vs. healthy control women and are independent of cortisol.
The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) promotes social behavior and attenuates stress responsivity in mammals. Recent clinical evidence suggests OT concentrations may be dysregulated in major depression. This study extends previous research by testing whether: 1) OT concentrations vary systematically in depressive disorders with and without hypercortisolemia, 2) gender differences in OT concentrations ...
متن کاملBreast-feeding and plasma oxytocin concentrations.
The patterns of response of oxytocin to a breast feed were studied in 10 mothers in the first week post partum. The initiation of lactation did not appear to be related to release of oxytocin. In established lactation an oxytocin response did not appear to be essential for adequate milk flow and did not occur always at the time of peak milk flow. The only factor identified that positively corre...
متن کاملGap junctions of the hippocampal CA1 area are crucial for memory consolidation
Introduction: Gap junctions are specialized cell–cell contacts between eukaryotic cells through which they communicate. This type of communication has the potential to modulate memory process. We evaluated the effects of the gating of the hippocampal CA1 area gap junction channels on memory consolidation, using passive avoidance task. Materials and Methods: 72 adult male Wistar rats were distri...
متن کاملSalivary Oxytocin Concentrations in Males following Intranasal Administration of Oxytocin: A Double-Blind, Cross-Over Study.
The use of intranasal oxytocin (OT) in research has become increasingly important over the past decade. Although researchers have acknowledged a need for further investigation of the physiological effects of intranasal administration, few studies have actually done so. In the present double-blind cross-over study we investigated the longevity of a single 24 IU dose of intranasal OT measured in ...
متن کاملGalaxy Concentrations are Trimodal
We have analysed the distribution of inclination-corrected galaxy concentrations in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that unlike most galaxy properties, which are distributed bimodally, the distribution of concentrations is trimodal: it exhibits three distinct peaks. The newly-discovered intermediate peak, which consists of early-type spirals and lenticulars, may contain ∼ 60% of the numbe...
