摘要

In addition to its well-known role during childbirth and lactation, oxytocin performs numerous other functions, including modulation of emotions, social behaviour, and metabolism. An oxytocin deficiency may therefore contribute to the development of psychiatric and metabolic disorders, particularly in individuals with hypothalamic-pituitary damage. For these reasons, despite diagnostic challenges, there is growing interest in its potential therapeutic use “beyond childbirth”.
