Up-regulation of oxytocin receptor gene and protein in the sheep anterior pituitary by a dopamine derivative (salsolinol)
Specific oxytocin receptors (OTR) have been identified in the anterior pituitary (AP), and their expression has been shown to change in relation to the animal physiological stage, whereas salsolinol (a derivative of dopamine) has been shown to stimulate the synthesis and release of oxytocin (OT) in...
