Abstract
Synthetic oxytocin and analogues of oxytocin exert an insulinlike action on the utilization of glucose by rat epididymal adipose tissue. The insulinlike action appears to be dependent upon the factors that determine the oxytocic properties of the peptides.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
