Does Oxytocin Play a Role in Autism?
Oxytocin may play a role in autism and may be an
effective treatment for autism's repetitive and
affiliative behaviors. Oxytocin treatments also
resulted in an increased retention of affective speech
in adults with autism. Two related studies in adults,
in 2003 and 2007, found oxytocin decreased repetitive
behaviors and improved interpretation of emotions. More
recently, intranasal administration of oxytocin was
found to increase emotion recognition in children as
young as 12 who are diagnosed with autism spectrum
disorders.
Oxytocin and the Gastro Tract
Oxytocin is destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract, so
must be administered by as nasal spray. It has a
half-life of typically about three minutes in the
blood, and given intravenously does not enter the brain
in significant quantities - it is excluded from the
brain by the blood-brain barrier. Evidence in rhesus
macaques indicates oxytocin by nasal spray does enter
the brain. Oxytocin nasal sprays have been used to
stimulate breastfeeding, but the efficacy of this
approach is doubtful.
Neural Sources of Oxytocin
In the hypothalamus, oxytocin is made in magnocellular
neurosecretory cells of the supraoptic and
paraventricular nuclei, and is stored in Herring bodies
at the axon terminals in the posterior pituitary.
Oxytocin is also made by some neurons in the
paraventricular nucleus that project to other parts of
the brain and to the spinal cord.Depending on the
species, oxytocin receptor-expressing cells are located
in other areas, including the amygdala and bed nucleus
of the stria terminalis. In the pituitary gland,
oxytocin is packaged in large, dense-core vesicles,
where it is bound to neurophysin I. Secretion of
oxytocin from the neurosecretory nerve endings is
regulated by the electrical activity of the oxytocin
cells in the hypothalamus.
Non-neural sources of Oxytocin
Outside the brain, oxytocin-containing cells have been
identified in several diverse tissues, including the
corpus luteum, the interstitial cells of Leydig, the
retina, the adrenal medulla, the placenta, the thymus
and the pancreas. The finding of significant amounts of
this classically "neurohypophysial" outside the central
nervous system raises many questions regarding its
possible importance in these different tissues. The
Leydig cells in some species have also been shown to
possess the biosynthetic machinery to manufacture
testicular oxytocin de novo, to be specific, in rats
(which can synthesize vitamin C endogenously), and in
guinea pigs, which, like humans, require an exogenous
source of vitamin C (ascorbate).
