Oxytocin levels are lower in premenopausal women with type 1 diabetes mellitus compared with matched controls

Abstract

Oxytocin levels are lower in women with T1DM than matched controls. Oxytocin also has opposing associations with hormonal contraceptives and adiposity in women with and without T1DM. Research is needed to determine if the altered oxytocin milieu in T1DM is associated with oxytocinher health outcomes.
