Oxytocin causes a sustained decrease in plasma levels of corticosterone in rats

The aim of this study was to investigate how oxytocin (OXT) influences plasma levels of ACTH and corticosterone in rats. A single injection of OXT (1 mg/kg s.c.) caused a transient increase in ACTH and corticosterone. In contrast, 1 mg/kg OXT (but not 10–100 μg/kg) decreased corticosterone, but not...
