OXYTOCIN’S STIMULATING ACTION ON CELLS REGENERATION PROCESSES OF PANCREATIC ISLANDS

The purpose of the present work was to study the influence of oxytocin’s neuropeptide on proliferation processes in pancreatic islands in normal and diabetic rats by various ways (central — intracerebroventricular and peripheral — intraperitoneal). It was established that repeated introduction of oxytocin (Ox) stimulates proliferation processes of incretory cells of a pancreas. In this case neuropeptide’s effects depend on the way of neurohormone introduction and the condition of experimental animals.
