- Description
Through multiple experiments, this study demonstrated that oxytocin induces diapause, a temporary developmental delay, in pre-implantation mouse embryos to help ensure their survival. To assess whether oxytocin receptor (OXTR) signaling might influence this gestational delay, heterozygous (OXTR+/−) dams which retain sufficient OXTR function for apparently normal parturition and nursing, were bred....
