Anti-depressant-like effects of oxytocin in mice are dependent on the presence of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Proconvulsive effects of oxytocin in the generalized pentylenetetrazol mouse model are mediated by vasopressin 1a receptors Vrije Universiteit Brussel
lot of attention in the past, although generalized epileptic convulsions were observed in
humans following intravenous OT infusion. We here aimed to investigate the effect of
exogenous OT administration on seizure susceptibility in C57Bl/6 mice subjected to the
pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) model. In addition, we studied via which ...
The pro-social neurohormone oxytocin reverses the actions of the stress hormone cortisol in human ovarian carcinoma cells in vitro Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The journey patients with ovarian cancer travel from non-specific symptoms causing delayed diagnosis through surgery and chemotherapy, culminating in a 5-year survival rate of 43%, must have a profound and detrimental psychological impact on patients. Emerging studies link higher levels of oxytocin (OT) and increased social support, an independent prognostic factor in cancer, with a moderating effect on stress. In contrast, there is a known ...
Hippocampal microinfusion of oxytocin attenuates the behavioural response to stress by means of dynamic interplay with the glucocorticoid-catecholamine responses. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Effect of the oxytocin receptor antagonist nolasiban on pregnancy rates in women undergoing embryo transfer following IVF Vrije Universiteit Brussel
STUDY QUESTION: Does a single oral dose of nolasiban 900 mg administered 4 h before embryo transfer (ET) increase pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF?
SUMMARY ANSWER: In an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis of three clinical trials, a single oral dose of nolasiban 900 mg was associated with an increased ongoing pregnancy rate of an absolute 5% (relative 15%).
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Several clinical studies have ...
