Possible Interaction: Oxytocin and Dihydrotestosterone

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Testosterone and DHT significantly increased oxytocin concentrations secreted into the media from 0.86 +/- 0.11 ng/g of tissue (control) to 1.51 +/- 0.14 ng/g (p < 0.01) and 1.54 +/- 0.13 ng/g (p < 0.05), respectively.

In the testis, oxytocin has been shown not only to modulate testosterone production but also to increase the activity of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ( DHT).

Activity of both isoforms of 5alpha-reductase was significantly increased by OT , resulting in increased concentration of prostatic dihydrotestosterone.
Endocrinology  •  2004  |  View Paper
Simultaneous superfusion with either DHT or 3alpha-diol significantly blocked E-BSA-stimulated release of oxytocin.
Brain research  •  2003  |  View Paper
The data suggest that both testosterone and DHT are capable of decreasing prostatic oxytocin concentrations.

In vitro treatment of goat testes … 6 h with 100 nM OT led to a 3.5-fold increase (… < 0.001) in 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ) production in spite of the induced decrease in testosterone, suggesting that OT … only affects testosterone production but also modulates its conversion to DHT.
