Although findings in the literature lack consistency, recent research on both central and peripheral actions of oxytocin have identified potential relationships with mood and anxiety (87), learning and memory (88), improvement of wound healing (89), modulation of inflammatory responses (90, 91), neuroprotection (89, 91, 92), regulation of food intake and body weight (93), and reduction of pain sensitivity (94, 95). The gene discussed is OXT; the disease is Anxiety.
