Oxytocin Peptide Hormone and Sleep Research published in Regulatory Peptides in 2003 postulated that the brain chemical Oxytocin may have a natural soothing effect. Oxytocin is theorized to ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by an accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in brain tissue, is a leading cause of dementia. Researchers now show that an oxytocin derivative with modifications ...

When you hear the word oxytocin, you probably think of love. This is with good reason: Oxytocin is the primary hormone that facilitates childbirth, and all humans produce it when they fall in love.

Oxytocin, also referred to as the love hormone or the 'cuddle chemical,' has been widely regarded over the years as a hormone that helps to promote affection between two people. It is the hormone that ...

“Intranasal (IN) delivery of peptide drugs has long been sought as a noninvasive route to the brain, and although this approach often works well in animals with long snouts, it has historically not ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by an accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) in brain tissue, is a leading cause of dementia. Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have previously ...

Researchers at the University of Vienna have developed fluorescent peptide tracers that can simultaneously visualize and activate the oxytocin receptor. This receptor—also known as the love/bonding ...

Oxytocin Peptide Hormone: Mechanism of Action Studies suggest that Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter and an essential hormone implicated in various aspects of social behavior and reproduction. Oxytocin ...

The cognitive decline and memory loss observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is attributed to the accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ), which impairs neural function in the brain. Experimentation has ...
