Oxytocin release is inhibited by the generation of carbon monoxide from the rat hypothalamus--further evidence for carbon monoxide as a neuromodulator.
Recent evidence suggests that the gas nitric oxide can modulate the secretion of a number of hypothalamic hormones, and may be co-localized particularly to oxytocin-containing neurons. Another gas, carbon monoxide (CO), has also been suggested to play a role in neural signaling in the brain, and the...
