Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration
2014
The age-related decline in the regenerative capacity of muscle can be reversed in mice by exposure to young circulation. Elabd et al. identify the hormone, oxytocin, as a potential mediator of this effect, showing that its plasma levels decline with age and that administration of oxytocin to aged mice improves muscle regeneration.
