摘要
Systemic subchronic oxytocin treatment significantly and substantially increased the B-max values of the alpha2 agonist [H-3]UK14.304 binding sites in the hypothalamus, the amygdala and the paraventricular thalamic nucleus of the rat as shown by quantitative receptor autoradiography. These results suggest that long-term modulation of autonomic and neuroendocrine functions and emotional behaviours elicited by brain oxytocin may involve enhancement of central alpha2-adrenoceptor function.
