Oxytocin

This study suggests that in late pregnancy, allopregnanolone induces opioid inhibition of oxytocin secretion in response to immune challenge, potentially minimizing the risk of preterm labor in rats.

This study identified hypericin and berberine as compounds that can support hair growth by enhancing oxytocin receptor expression and acting as an oxytocin receptor agonist, respectively, potentially serving as practical alternatives to oxytocin for treating hair-loss diseases.

Oxytocin from hair cells helps hair growth and stem cell increase.

This research observed that oxytocin receptor agonists WAY267464 and LIT001 increased hair growth-related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells and significantly promoted hair follicle sprouting in vitro, suggesting their potential as hair growth agents targeting OXTR for alopecia treatment.

This study explored the effects of oxytocin on hair growth and found that it upregulated growth-promoting factors in dermal papilla cells and hair follicle organoids, suggesting potential for developing new alopecia treatments.

This study found that neurosteroids influence oxytocin secretion in sheep, particularly during stress and pregnancy, suggesting their role in protecting and maintaining pregnancy under harmful conditions.

People with an imbalance between their cognitive and emotional empathy have lower levels of the hormone oxytocin in their hair.

The error in figures didn't affect the study's results or conclusions.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

In this study, cinnamic acid was found to enhance hair growth in human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle organoids by activating oxytocin signaling, suggesting its potential for developing hair growth-promoting products.

This study observed significant differences in oxytocin receptor expression and stem cell migration in a valproic acid-induced rat model of autism, with male rats showing notably reduced oxytocin receptor expression compared to their normal counterparts, highlighting potential gender differences in susceptibility to autism-related brain disturbances.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

This study explores how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with endocrine organs and highlights specific endocrine molecules that help explain the progression and outcomes of COVID-19, especially in patients with certain metabolic conditions.

This study observed that areola formation in mice requires exposure to pregnancy hormones and mechanical strain, beyond individual stimuli like hormonal milieu or strain alone.

This systematic review found that interventions targeting neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, particularly melatonin, substance P, and oxytocin, show consistent evidence for anti-inflammatory, reparative, and psychodermatologic benefits, highlighting the potential of neurohormonal signaling as a therapeutic target in dermatology.

This study developed a sensitive method for analyzing nine biomarkers in hair, revealing an association between chronic tobacco smoke exposure and stress, highlighting its potential use in understanding the relationship between long-term tobacco exposure and chronic stress.

This study reports that Polyscias scutellaria exhibits diverse pharmacological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties, suggesting potential therapeutic uses in various health applications.
