Introduction The neuropeptide oxytocin is a hormone with a wide range of central and peripheral effects. Besides its well-known role in labour and lactation ( Gimpl & Fahrenholz 2001 ), oxytocin is released in response to various stress stimuli

stimulation of the neural stalk in lactating rabbits resulted in a sharp rise in intramammary pressure, and they inferred that this was the consequence of oxytocin secreted from the posterior pituitary. They noted that the response to stimulation depended

experimental model extensively used to study these responses. WD increases osmolality and decreases plasma volume, inducing the release of hormones that act to maintain homeostasis, such as vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT), and the activation of the renin

and SON contain neurons that produce arginine vasopressin (AVP) and/or oxytocin (OT) and project not only to the posterior pituitary gland, but also elsewhere within the central nervous system (CNS). While AVP is well known to control fluid balance by

Introduction Oxytocin (OT) originally recognized as a pregnancy hormone is produced primarily in paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. OT is also synthesized in the cardiovascular system ( Jankowski et al . 1998 , Oyama et al
