Results from non-normality distribution data were shown as median (25th and 75th percentiles), and those from normality distribution data as meanstandard error of the mean (SEM). Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. The recommended dosage is 0.5 cc (10 IU) to stimulate uterine contraction. The SP-OXT concentrations were expressed in ng/mL. A total of 72 SP samples were collected for OXT measurement from ejaculates of 18 Landrace (n=13) and Large White (n=5) boars (four ejaculates per boar) over 12-month period (one SP sample per boar every four mos. There was no relationship between SP concentrations of OXT and ejaculate sperm concentration or total sperm count. Oxytocin is frequently used to decrease farrowing time and birth interval as an aid to prevent stillbirths. II. 2020;9:113. Salivary Cortisol, but Not Oxytocin, Varies With Social Challenges in Domestic Pigs: Implications for Measuring Emotions. The second experiment intended to find out if SP-OXT concentrations were related to the age of boars and ejaculate characteristics and if they influenced sperm parameters from diluted semen samples stored at liquid state, such as those used in AI programs. [27] reported negative relationships of SP-OXT concentrations and total sperm count, motility and morphology also in men. Frequently, higher doses are used but higher doses will not improve the efficiency of oxytocin usage. This is known as augmentation of labor. Six to ten fields were analyzed, accumulating data of more than 600 spermatozoa per semen sample. The following adverse reactions have been reported in the fetus or neonate: Premature ventricular contractions and other arrhythmias. Stadler B, Whittaker MR, Exintaris B, Middendorff R. Oxytocin in the male reproductive tract; the therapeutic potential of oxytocin-agonists and-antagonists. Available for Android and iOS devices. Hyperstimulation with strong (hypertonic) or prolonged (tetanic) contractions, or a resting tone of 15 to 20 mmHg or more between contractions can lead to tumultuous labor, uterine rupture, cervical and vaginal lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, uteroplacental hypoperfusion, and variable deceleration of fetal heart, fetal hypoxia, hypercapnia, perinatal hepatic necrosis or death. Antepartum use of Pitocin is contraindicated in any of the following circumstances: Pitocin, when given for induction of labor or augmentation of uterine activity, should be administered only by the intravenous route and with adequate medical supervision in a hospital. Improper oxytocin use can also cause an increased number of stillbirths by causing ruptured umbilical cords that lead to decreased oxygen delivery to the piglet during birth. J Anim Sci. However, administering oxytocin before the cervix is fully dilated or the first pig is born can lead to dystocia or difficult birth. Influence of hormone supplementation to extended semen on artificial insemination, uterine contractions, establishment of a sperm reservoir, and fertility in swine. Consequently, OXT is sometimes used as an additive to semen AI-doses in order to accelerate the progression of semen towards the uterus for better colonization of the uterine-tubal reservoir [29]. Regardless of your plans, labor and delivery rarely go exactly as expected. Intravenous infusion (drip method) is the only acceptable method of parenteral administration of Pitocin for the induction or stimulation of labor. Willenburg KL, Miller GM, Rodriguez-Zas SL, Knox RV. A 1995 National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) study indicates 8.2% of swine producers administer oxytocin to all sows farrowed. Efficient boar semen production and genetic contribution: the impact of low-dose artificial insemination on fertility. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. The .gov means its official. 2000 - 2023 - Global Ag Media. https://doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.1400063. 2011;66:1122. Pitocin is also used to stimulate Anim Sci J. Glutathione peroxidase 5 is expressed by the entire pig male genital tract and once in the seminal plasma contributes to sperm survival and in vivo fertility. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Fuchs A, Goeschen K, Husslein P, et al: Oxytocin and the initiation of human parturition. Its effect on length of insemination, pregnancy rate and litter size. In conclusion, OXT was present in pig SP in measurable concentrations, which differed among boars and among ejaculates within boar, showing higher concentrations in young boars.

Front Vet Sci. Oxytocin (OXT), a small peptide hormone mainly synthetized in the magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus, would be another SP component potentially For instance, glutathione peroxidase-5 [13, 17], anti-Mllerian hormone [18] or transforming growth factor-1 [19]. 2010;45:6778. 2003;81(4):8219. Direct competitive immunoassay test based on AlphaLISA used for oxytocin assessment in pig seminal plasma samples. New England Journal of Medicine2018; doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1800566, Wei S, Wo BL, Qi HP, et al. Knox RV. Oxytocin (OXT), a small peptide hormone mainly synthetized in the magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus, would be another SP component potentially involved in male fertility. Google Scholar. Package insert / product label Local OXT synthesis and the presence of OXT receptor (OXTR) have been located in the male reproductive tract of several mammalian species (pig: [20]; cow: [21]; rat: [22]; horse: [23]; sheep: [24]; human: [25]). It is sometimes known as the "cuddle This hypothesis would be supported by the in vitro experiments carried out by Bodanszky et al. Boars were free of chromosomal translocations and with percentages of spermatozoa with fragmented nuclear DNA lower than 3% (measured using the sperm chromatin stability assay, following the procedure described by Martinez-Pastor et al., [35]). Establish the infusion with a separate bottle of physiologic electrolyte solution not containing Pitocin. Unlike the Mostaf study [27], the boars included in our study were all fertile, to a greater or lesser extent, but fertile. Multiparous patients. Padilla, L., Lpez-Arjona, M., Martinez-Subiela, S. et al. If uterine contractions become too powerful, the infusion can be abruptly stopped, and oxytocic stimulation of the uterine musculature will soon wane (see. Disclose the causes of these individual variations is still challenging. The SP samples were stored in 3mL-cryotubes at 80C (Ultra Low Freezer; Haier Inc., Qingdao, China) until OXT measurement. Oh, and cervidil (also used for inductions) is made with pig SEMEN. Theriogenology. Oxytocin can help us bond with loved ones and can be released through touch, music and exercise. Boars were grouped (hierarchical clustering, P<0.001) into three groups by having positive (green), without (grey) or negative (red) deviation. The medication is administered through an IV, and its effects typically start within 30 minutes to an hour. 1998;49(4):82936. This increase in litter size was not found in the present study, perhaps because the SP-OXT concentrations measured in the present study were significantly lower than those used in the aforementioned studies, which ranged from 0.04 to 0.1IU/mL. Do your own research. Harris GC, Frayne J, Nicholson HD. PLoS One. Maternal death due to oxytocin-induced water intoxication has been reported. L.P and M.L-A were financially supported by MINECO (BES-2016-076404) and MECD (FPU16/02170), Spain, respectively. Moreover, SP has immunoregulatory properties, causing a favorable immune environment for sperm and embryos in the female genital tract [9]. That said, Pitocin does make contractions stronger, which may translate into stronger pain. Oxytocin stimulation of uterine contractions will decrease the interval between piglet births and is used on many farms as an intervention to reduce still births and aid in the farrowing process. Theriogenology. The SP concentration of OXT varied widely (P<0.001) among boars (inter-boar variability), ranging from 3.41 to 47.92ng/mL (Fig. By clicking Accept All Cookies, you agree to the storing of cookies on your device to enhance site navigation, analyze site usage, and assist in our marketing efforts. WebNeurophysin 1 specifically binds oxytocin. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter. Bodanszky M, Sharaf H, Roy JB, Said SI. Thereafter, 10L of biotinylated OXT-BSA (1 nmol/L, Cusabio Technology LLC, Houston, TX, USA) was added to each well and the plates incubated again at RT for 60min. Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration. Overstimulation of the uterus by improper administration can be hazardous to both mother and fetus. Theriogenology. Conceptualization: L.P., M.L-A., S.M-S, J.R. and I.B. The action of sexual intercourse in stimulating labour is unclear, it may in part be due to the physical stimulation of the lower uterine segment, or endogenous release of oxytocin as a result of orgasm or from the direct action of prostaglandins in semen. The results showed that SP-OXT differed between boars and between ejaculates within boar (P<0.05) but not between breeds (Duroc, Pietrain, Landrace and Large White). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jprot.2013.05.029. Oxytocin is a hormone of interest in reproduction, but also in the field of psychology and behavior, being considered as a biomarker of positive emotions. Anim Reprod Sci. Farrowing variable in saline solution-treated (control) and oxytocin-treated sows, Table 3. 2014;5(1):4082. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms5082. The percentage of viable spermatozoa exhibiting high plasma membrane fluidity (H-42+/ Yo-Pro-1/M-540+) was recorded. Violin plots displaying oxytocin (ng/mL) concentration levels and its distribution in seminal plasma (SP-OXT) of entire ejaculates (n=72) from 18 artificial insemination boars (four ejaculates per boar). The assay showed an adequate accuracy and precision and does not need a previous extraction step. Article An official website of the United States government. Improvements in fertility, both in terms of farrowing rates and litter size, have been documented in sows inseminated with semen doses supplemented with OXT [30,31,32,33,34]. For each standard and diluted SP-samples, a 15L aliquot was added, in duplicate, into the appropriate wells. J Androl. These properties are thought to be due to the fact that oxytocin and vasopressin differ in regard to only two of the eight amino acids (see PRECAUTIONS section). Epub 2018 May 14. Introduction Oxytocin is a hormone that is synthesized in the neurons of the brain and transported to the posterior pituitary. 2). Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Pitocin is a synthetic version of the pregnancy hormone oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract. The use of exogenous (not produced by the sow) prostaglandin allows the caretaker to synchronize farrowing across multiple sows or to a preferred time of day for attendance purposes. 2. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with oxytocin. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2019.06.043. Pig fertility, being a polytocous species, is measured by the farrowing rate and also by the number of piglets born per litter (total litter size). Maternal sinus bradycardia with abnormal atrioventricular rhythms has also been noted when oxytocin was used concomitantly with cyclopropane anesthesia. Terms and Conditions, 2003;59(3-4):84961. Then, greater contractility would result in a greater volume of the ejaculate. National Institutes of Health, Office of Research on Women's Health. Specifically, vaginal deposition and low ejaculate volume in men versus uterine deposition and high ejaculate volume in male pigs. Physiological Assessment of the Health and Welfare of Domestic Cats-An Exploration of Factors Affecting Urinary Cortisol and Oxytocin. Following intramuscular injection of the drug, uterine response occurs within 3 to 5 minutes and persists for 2 to 3 hours. The value of microscopic semen motility assessment at collection for a commercial artificial insemination center, a retrospective study on factors explaining variation in pig fertility. The groups grouped the boars as having positive deviation, without deviation and negative deviation with respect to the mean fertility outcomes of the totality of boars of the same breed. Severe water intoxication with convulsions and coma has occurred, associated with a slow oxytocin infusion over a 24-hour period. 1 Pitocin mimics the hormone in an attempt to send your body into labor. In vivo fertility included only 18 Large White and Landrace boars whose AI-semen was used to inseminated >100 sows and evaluated both farrowing rate and litter size of 3,167 sows. The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). An induction with Pitocin means your doctor or midwife will help start your labor using a medicine called Pitocin, which is a synthetic version of oxytocin. Oxytocin is the hormone that your body naturally produces to induce contractions, as well as serving as the famous love hormone. How does a Pitocin induction work? Further future studies are mandatory to determine which threshold is positively affecting the fertility of the AI-doses or whether the relationship with fertility has an inherent male fertility aspect rather than with the ejaculate, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2605.1996.tb00476.x. Specifically, more than 200106 sperm/mL, 70% motile sperm and 75% sperm with normal morphology. Each dot indicates SP-OXT concentration of each individual ejaculate, dashed lines the median and dotted lines the 25th and 75th percentiles. The structural formula is as follows: Uterine motility depends on the formation of the contractile protein actomyosin under the influence of the Ca2+-dependent phosphorylating enzyme myosin light-chain kinase.

Anim Reprod Sci. Oxytocin causes contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus and of the mammary gland. Discussing how your labor will be managed ahead of time may help you adjust more easily if Pitocin is needed. [27] found no relationship between seminal OXT concentration and ejaculation volume in men. A comparison of methods to measure central and peripheral oxytocin concentrations in human and non-human primates.

MeSH Would you like email updates of new search results? A neuropeptide in human semen: oxytocin. This study characterized concentrations of SP-OXT in ejaculates from boars used in artificial insemination (AI) programs aiming to evaluate its relationship with sperm quality variables and in vivo fertility of their liquid-stored AI-semen. A total of 36 ejaculates (one per boar) collected from boars of different ages (from 9 to 35 months) of the same mentioned above breeds were used. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Google Scholar. Together with neurophysin, it is packaged into neurosecretory This comparatively higher concentration of OXT in SP could suggest an eventual functional role in either sperm or on the female genital tract, since both in sperm (demonstrated in stallions: [40]) and in the endometrium and myometrium (demonstrated in sows: [41]) there are OXTRs. CAS Finally, 10L of donor beads (20g/mL) was added to each well and the plates incubated at RT in darkness for 30min. However, recent research has shown that oxytocin use can increase the number of pigs stillborn when used too early in the birth process. Disclaimer. doi:10.1002/14651858.CD006794.pub4. Noteworthy, the measured concentrations of OXT in single SP samples (one ejaculate per boar) varied between boars but not between breeds. Oxytocin is distributed throughout the extracellular fluid. Article As expected the total farrowing time and interval between piglet births was reduced in sows administered oxytocin (Table 2). Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain. The IV drip will be set to deliver a certain amount of Pitocin every hour. Some of the above empirical studies found that the supplementation of AI-doses with OXT also improved litter size in addition to farrowing rates [31, 33, 34]. Administer oxygen to the mother, who preferably should be put in a lateral position. Adjust the infusion rate to sustain uterine contraction and control uterine atony. Reprod Domest Anim. Since the available data are inadequate to evaluate the benefits-to-risks considerations, Pitocin is not indicated for elective induction of labor. PubMed Central Pitocin can also be used to speed up your labor. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2012.04.003. Boar age differed (P<0.05) between the two SP-OXT groups. Sci Rep. 2017;7(1):17222. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-17674-7. Effect of oxytocin, cloprostenol or buserelin in semen doses on sow fertility. The data reported in the present study showed that OXT was present at measurable concentrations in the SP from all ejaculates analyzed, with the highest volume ejaculates and those from the youngest boars showing the highest concentrations. Firstly, the frozen SP was thawed on ice and diluted in AlphaLISA Universal buffer (1:64; v/v).

Seitchik J, Castillo M: Oxytocin augmentation of dysfunctional labor. Except in unusual circumstances, oxytocin should not be administered in the following conditions: fetal distress, hydramnios, partial placenta previa, prematurity, borderline cephalopelvic disproportion, and any condition in which there is a predisposition for uterine rupture, such as previous major surgery on the cervix or uterus including cesarean section, overdistention of the uterus, grand multiparity, or past history of uterine sepsis or of traumatic delivery. Release of oxytocin from the pituitary is stimulated by the extensive nuzzling of the udder by the pigs and occurs approximately at the point where the sow increases the rate of grunting. It could be postulated that the local action of OXT would be more active in the accessory glands (adds volume to ejaculates) than in the epididymis (adds sperm to ejaculates). ; Funding acquisition: J.R.; Investigation: L.P., M.L-A., S.M-S, and I.B. NDC 42023-116-02 Packages of twenty-five 10 mL multiple-dose vial, each containing 10 units of oxytocin per mL (total = 100 units of oxytocin per vial). In any case, the results of these studies support our findings about the positive role of seminal OXT in porcine semen fertility. To the very best of our knowledge, this is apparently the first study measuring the concentration of OXT in pig SP and the first report conducted in a livestock species assessing an eventual putative influence of SP-OXT concentrations on sperm reproductive performance post-AI. Sperm morphology was microscopically (Eclipse E400, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) assessed in fixed sperm samples (1:1, v/v, in 0.12% formaldehyde saline solution; Panreac, Barcelona, Spain) by counting a total of 200 sperm per sample. However, even a small reduction in laboring may provide significant relief to the pregnant mother. In contrast, this same study indicated that 88% of stillbirths were recorded before the 5th pig was born when sows were administered a single dose of oxytocin after the first pig was born. For example in one study, 75% of stillbirths were recorded after the 8th pig was born when sows were allowed to farrow without intervention. Epub 2020 Jun 11. April 2009. The last studies in this realm have proposed searching for these biomarkers in seminal plasma (SP), a protein rich-fluid composed mainly by secretions from epididymis and accessory sex glands [8]. PMC The infusion of Pitocin is regulated on a medication pump to make sure a very specific amount is given. 4C). Lpez-Arjona M, Mateo SV, Escribano D, Tecles F, Cern JJ, Martnez-Subiela S.

But that couldn't be farther from the truth. Contractile activity of vasotocin, oxytocin, and vasopressin on mammalian prostate. a-b indicates significant differences (P<0.05) between groups of boars in the SP concentration of OXT. What is Pitocin? Synthetic oxytocin, sold under the brand name Pitocin among others, is a medication made from the peptide oxytocin. Three technical replicates (with 10,000 events positive to Hoechst 33342 [H-42]) were analyzed for each semen sample. It is indicated for (1) induction of labor in patients with a medical indication for the initiation of labor, such as Rh problems, maternal diabetes, preeclampsia at or near term, when delivery is in the best interests of mother and fetus or when membranes are prematurely ruptured and delivery is indicated; (2) stimulation or reinforcement of labor, as in selected cases of uterine inertia; (3) as adjunctive therapy in the management of incomplete or inevitable abortion. Then, the fact that there is individual but not breed differences would rule out the genetic origin. Google Scholar. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1983; 145:777780. Oxytocin is a posterior pituitary hormone which is synthesized as an inactive precursor in the hypothalamus along with its carrier protein neurophysin I. https://doi.org/10.2164/jandrol.109.007583. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS; Merck KgaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was used to extend semen samples for flow cytometry analyses. Theriogenology. Artificial insemination (AI) is the most widespread and effective reproductive technology for the production and genetic improvement of pigs worldwide [1,2,3]. A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to classify ejaculates into groups according to seminal OXT concentration and two groups were generated, one with higher and other with lower SP-OXT samples. Discontinue the infusion of Pitocin immediately in the event of uterine hyperactivity and/or fetal distress. [47] in pigs, which showed that OXT is particularly active in the accessory glands, more specifically in the prostate. Boars of the same breed are genetically very similar, at least those used in our study. Entire ejaculates were collected from mature (ranging from 9 to 35months [mos.]) Intravenous infusion (drip method). to avoid possible seasonal effects).

Early amniotomy and early oxytocin for prevention of, or therapy for, delay in first stage spontaneous labour compared with routine care. WebPitocin is a synthetic version of the naturally-produced hormone oxytocin. Pitocin is a hormone that is used to induce labor or strengthen uterine contractions, or to control bleeding after childbirth. The percentage of viable sperm exhibiting high intracellular ROS generation (H-42+/PI/2,7-di-chlorofluorescein [DCF]+) was recorded. Electronic fetal monitoring provides the best means for early detection of overdosage (see. Therefore, the measurement of the SP concentrations of OXT could lead to a better selection of boars used in AI programs, contributing to the successful improvement of AI efficiency. Last updated on Jun 1, 2021. 1987;120(3):98694. Bugg GJ, Siddiqui F, Thornton JG. Therefore, one of the current challenges of the swine industry focuses on discovering biomarkers that would allow a more precise selection of fertile boars. Epididymal oxytocin in the rat: its origin and regulation. Article In pigs, the main role attributed to OXT is to facilitate the contractility of the myometrium [28]. Maggi M, Malozowski S, Kassis S, Guardabasso V, Rodbard D. Identification and characterization of two classes of receptors for oxytocin and vasopressin in porcine tunica albuginea, epididymis, and vas deferens. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1439-0531.2010.01622.x. Small amounts of the drug probably reach the fetal circulation. Management consists of immediate discontinuation of oxytocin and symptomatic and supportive therapy. A. Broekhuijse MLWJ, Feitsma H, Gadella BM. Oxytocin and vasopressin expression in the ovine testis and epididymis: changes with the onset of spermatogenesis. IV. Ejaculates with higher SP-OXT concentration/mL (hierarchically grouped; P<0.001) had larger volume and came from younger boars (P<0.05). Differences in libido could be a cause. However, the physician should be aware of the fact that oxytocin even in its pure form has inherent pressor and antidiuretic properties which may become manifest when large doses are administered. Article It's even being tested as an anti-anxiety drug. Accessibility Theriogenology. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. However, the number of intrapartum stillborn deaths and ruptured umbilical cords per litter were significantly higher among the oxytocin treated sows versus the control sows. Oxytocin is known as the hormone that promotes feelings of love, bonding and well-being. It is convenient to piggyback the Pitocin infusion on a physiologic electrolyte solution, permitting the Pitocin infusion to be stopped abruptly without interrupting the electrolyte infusion. Google Scholar. Oxytocin is the hormone that naturally induces labor. 2013;(7):CD009241. The differences between men and male pigs in reproductive OXT secretion could be explained by differences in mating strategy. Ejaculates of boars showing positive farrowing rate deviation exhibited higher (P<0.05) SP-OXT concentration/mL than those with negative farrowing rate deviation. Lpez-Arjona et al. Lefevre A, Mottolese R, Dirheimer M, Mottolese C, Duhamel J-R, Sirigu A. Noticeable, the results also showed that boar with best farrowing rates have ejaculates with highest SP-OXT concentrations. Moreover, the boars were also grouped into three further sub-groups according to deviations in total litter size: positive (from 0.22 to 0.83 piglets, n=6), without (from 0.15 to 0.11 piglets, n=8) and negative (from 0.22 to 0.42 piglets, n=4) deviation (Fig. One of the main uses of the drug is to treat prolonged, difficult, or obstructed labor (labor dystocia), especially when doing so may reduce rates of cesarean sections. Even with proper administration and adequate supervision, hypertonic contractions can occur in patients whose uteri are hypersensitive to oxytocin. There are no animal or human studies on the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of this drug, nor is there any information on its effect on fertility. Oxytocin in bovine saliva: validation of two assays and changes in parturition and at weaning. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. These differences could explain the disagreement between the results of Mostaf and ours. 2012;132(1-2):6673. The percentage of spermatozoa with an average path velocity greater than 20m/s were considered as motile and those with a straight-line velocity more than 40m/s were recorded as showing progressive motility. Oxytocin has been shown to have an intrinsic antidiuretic effect, acting to increase water reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate. Oxytocin has a plasma half-life of about 1 to 6 minutes which is decreased in late pregnancy and during lactation. ; Formal analysis: J.R., and I.B. 2015;50:1039.
