Body temperature and cardiac changes induced by peripherally administered oxytocin, vasopressin and the non‐peptide oxytocin receptor agonist <scp>WAY</scp> 267,464: a biotelemetry study in rats

Abstract

Peripherally administered OT and AVP have profound cardiovascular and thermoregulatory effects that appear to principally involve the V1A receptor rather than the OT receptor. Additionally, WAY 267,464 is not a simple OT receptor agonist, as it has functionally relevant V1A antagonist actions.
