Oxytocin improves male copulatory performance in rats

Arletti, R., Bazzani, C., Castelli, M., Bertolini, A.·1985·Hormones and Behavior

Abstract

The role of oxytocin in male copulatory performance was reexamined in rats. Adult male rats were trained seven times for copulatory behavior, at weekly intervals. Oxytocin, either intraperitoneally injected (200 ng/rat) or intracerebroventricularly infused (1 ng/rat in 4 microliter saline) 60 and 5 min, respectively, before the eighth test, significantly shortened both the ejaculation latency and the postejaculatory interval. The intracerebroventricular infusion of saline alone (4 microliter/rat) had no effect at all.

  • Acutely injected OXT facilitates reproductive and sociosexual behaviors in male rodents.

    “our results agree with previous works showing that either intraperitoneally or intracerebroventricularly acutely-injected OXT facilitate reproductive and sociosexual behaviors in male rodents (Arletti et al, 1985;Neumann, 2008;Witt, 1995).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
