Our previous studies have demonstrated that oxytocin (OXT) in the central nervous system plays a role in pain modulation. Many studies have found that caudate nucleus (CdN) enriches OXT and OXT receptors by the methods of historadioautograph and gene expression. The communication was designed to investigate OXT effect in the rat CdN on pain modulation. The results showed that (1) intra-CdN microinjection of OXT receptor antagonist, desGly-NH(2), d(CH(2))(5)[D-Tyr(2), Thr-sup-4]OVT decreased the pain threshold, whereas the local administration of OXT increased the pain threshold in a dose-dependent manner; (2) OXT receptor antagonist can attenuate the analgesic role induced intra-CdN administration of OXT; and (3) pain stimulation could increase OXT concentration in the CdN perfusion liquid. The data suggested that OXT in the CdN was involved in this pain process via OXT receptors.

D010121 Oxytocin A nonapeptide hormone released from the neurohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, POSTERIOR). It differs from VASOPRESSIN by two amino acids at residues 3 and 8. Oxytocin acts on SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS, such as causing UTERINE CONTRACTIONS and MILK EJECTION. Ocytocin,Pitocin,Syntocinon

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
