title: Characterization of oxytocin immunoreactivity in human sympathetic paravertebral ganglia.
abstract: Immunoreactive oxytocin (IR-OXT) detected in extracts of human lumbar sympathetic paravertebral ganglia was characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The immunoreactive substance was found to elute at the same position as the reference preparation of oxytocin (OXT). The results revealed the presence of chromatographically identified OXT in human sympathetic ganglia.
