Oxytocin in horse saliva: validation of a highly sensitive assay and a pilot report about changes in equine gastric ulcer syndrome
This report validates a new assay that can measure oxytocin in saliva in horses in a precise and accurate way. The lower oxytocin values in horses with EGGD and both EGGD and ESGD than in horses with ESGD, horses with other diseases, and healthy horses could indicate a possible relation of oxytocin with this disease.
