Specifically, Gebert et al. (2018) found that greater trait anxiety was associated with higher baseline salivary oxytocin, whilst blunted release of oxytocin (i.e., no/ a smaller increase between pre- and post-exercise salivary oxytocin concentrations) was a significant predictor of greater state anxiety in craniopharyngioma. Here, OXT is linked to craniopharyngioma.
