Assessing effects of oxytocin on alcohol consumption in socially housed prairie voles using radio frequency tracking

Andre T. Walcott et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that oxytocin can reduce alcohol consumption in socially housed prairie voles, indicating its potential in treating alcohol use disorder. This suggests that the effectiveness of other pharmacotherapies in preclinical studies can be tested in socially housed animals, similar to clinical trials in humans.

The vagus nerve mediates the suppressing effects of peripherally administered oxytocin on methamphetamine self-administration and seeking in rats

Nicholas A. Everett et al.

Summary: The study found that peripherally administered oxytocin has inhibitory effects on METH self-administration and reinstatement, with a requirement for vagus nerve signaling involvement, and that this vagal dependency is partially mediated by sex and drug withdrawal.

No changes in the oxytocin system in alcohol-dependent female rodents and humans: Towards a sex-specific psychopharmacology in alcoholism

Anita C. Hansson et al.

Summary: A recent study found a decrease in oxytocin levels and an increase in oxytocin receptor binding sites in male alcohol dependent rats and patients, but no changes in the oxytocin system were observed in female alcohol dependent rats and humans. Therefore, it is recommended to specifically intervene with oxytocin only in male subjects.

Temporal analysis of individual ethanol consumption in socially housed mice and the effects of oxytocin

Maya A. Caruso et al.

Summary: The study found that female mice consumed more ethanol, partly due to a higher number of drinks taken by females. Oxytocin treatments not only resulted in an acute decrease in ethanol consumption, but also showed variation in efficacy over time.
