Oxytocin infusions increase plasma levels of insulin and VIP but not of gastrin in conscious dogs
Abstract
In the present study, a radioimmunoassay for oxytocin determinations is presented. In addition, we investigated whether the elevation of insulin, VIP and gastrin levels demonstrated to occur in response to suckling in lactating dogs may be induced by released oxytocin. Therefore, oxytocin was infused i.v. into conscious dogs in amounts calculated to give rise to plasma levels observed during physiological circumstances. Plasma levels of oxytocin, insulin, VIP (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide) and gastrin were measured by radioimmunoassay. When oxytocin was infused at a rate of 0.22 and 2.2 nmol kg-1 h-1, plasma oxytocin levels rose to 176 +/- 25 fmol ml-1 and to 1490 +/- 400 fmol ml-1, respectively, 10 min after the infusions were started. Plasma insulin levels rose in response to oxytocin administered at a rate of 0.22 and 2.2 nmol kg-1 h-1. A peak was recorded within 5 min of oxytocin infusion, that is, before maximal oxytocin levels were recorded, and basal levels were reached within about 20 min. The VIP levels rose slightly following infusion of oxytocin at 0.22 nmol kg-1 h-1, but a clear-cut response that lasted for 60 min was observed following infusion of oxytocin at the highest dose. In contrast, gastrin levels were not influenced by the oxytocin infusions. Suckling in dogs is followed by rapidly occurring short-lasting elevations of oxytocin levels in plasma which amount to 50-100 fmol ml-1. Since insulin and VIP were released by oxytocin when administered in amounts that give rise to plasma levels close to those levels, it is suggested that the secretion of insulin and VIP that occurs in response to suckling in lactating dogs may in part be caused by previously released oxytocin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In dogs, intranasal oxytocin increases glucagon and insulin secretion, probably through peripheral actions, since intravenous oxytocin has similar effects in goats and dogs.
“Intranasal application in dogs increases glucagon and insulin secretion (37), and this is probably mediated peripherally as intravenous oxytocin has a similar effect in goats (38) and dogs (39).”

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.
