The Oxytocin-Oxytocin Receptor System and Its Antagonists as Tocolytic Agents by Nikolaos Vrachnis, Fotodotis M. Malamas, Stavros Sifakis, Efthymios Deligeoroglou, Zoe Iliodromiti

“…It acts through its receptor, which belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily, while Gq/phospholipase C (PLC)/inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3) is the main pathway via which it exerts its action in the myometrium. Changes in receptor levels, receptor desensitization, and locally produced oxytocin are factors that influence the effect of oxytocin on uterine contractility in labor. …”

A trend of osteocalcin in diabetes mellitus research: bibliometric and visualization analysis by Zixu Liu, Zixu Liu, Yuchen Mao, Kangping Yang, Shukai Wang, Fang Zou

“…The United States and China are at the forefront of this research area.DiscussionThe keywords were grouped into four clusters: ‘Differential and functional osteocalcin genes’, ‘Differential expression of osteocalcin genes in relation to diabetes mellitus’, ‘Role of osteocalcin in the assessment of osteoporosis and diabetes mellitus’, and ‘Indirect involvement of osteocalcin in metabolic processes’. Analysis using the VoS viewer suggests a shift in research focus towards the correlation between osteocalcin levels and diabetic complications, the clinical efficacy of therapeutic agents or vitamins in the treatment of osteoporosis in diabetic patients, and the mechanisms by which osteocalcin modulates insulin action. …”
