  3. Oxytocin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin

    As such, the antidepressant-like effects of oxytocin may be mediated by modulation of a different target, perhaps the vasopressin V 1A receptor where oxytocin is known to weakly bind as an agonist. [128] [129] Oxytocin mediates the antidepressant-like effects of sexual activity.

  4. Supraoptic nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraoptic_nucleus

    The oxytocin and vasopressin that is released at the posterior pituitary gland enters the blood, and cannot re-enter the brain because the blood–brain barrier does not allow oxytocin and vasopressin through, but the oxytocin and vasopressin that is released from dendrites acts within the brain. Oxytocin neurons themselves express oxytocin ...

  5. Magnocellular neurosecretory cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnocellular_neuro...

    Oxytocin and vasopressin can, thus, be released within the brain from these dendrites, as well as into the blood from the terminals in the posterior pituitary gland. [5] However, the release of oxytocin and vasopressin from dendrites is not consistently accompanied by peripheral secretion, as dendritic release is regulated differently.

  6. Vasotocin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasotocin

    The oxytocin-like peptides, which differ in positions 4 and/or 8, include oxytocin (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, with arginine-8 of AVT changed to leucine), mesotocin (arginine-8 changed to isoleucine), and isotocin (glutamine-4 changed to serine and arginine-8 changed to isoleucine); they differ from the vasopressin-like peptides ...

  7. Antidiuretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidiuretic

    The antidiuretic hormone class includes vasopressin (ADH), argipressin, desmopressin, lypressin, ornipressin, oxytocin, and terlipressin. Miscellaneous others include chlorpropamide and carbamazepine .

  8. Neurohypophysial hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurohypophysial_hormone

    Most of the circulating oxytocin and vasopressin hormones are synthesized in magnocellular neurosecretory cells of the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. They are then transported in neurosecretory granules along axons within the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial tract by axoplasmic flow to axon terminals forming the ...

  9. Paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraventricular_nucleus_of...

    The magnocellular cells in the PVN elaborate and secrete two peptide hormones: oxytocin and vasopressin. These hormones are packaged into large vesicles, which are then transported down the unmyelinated axons of the cells and released from neurosecretory nerve terminals residing in the posterior pituitary gland.
