Abstract:
Oxytocin is a classic neuropeptide hormone. In recent years, basic and clinical researches have shown that oxytocin is involved in the regulation of blood glucose homeostasis by protecting islet β cells, promoting insulin secretion and peripheral tissue glucose uptake. This article reviews the recent evidence of the linkage between oxytocin and diabetes mellitus.
