Padilla, L., Lpez-Arjona, M., Martinez-Subiela, S. et al. Subsequent to intra-amniotic injection of hypertonic saline, prostaglandins, urea, etc., for midtrimester elective abortion, the injection-to-abortion time may be shortened by infusion of Pitocin at the rate of 10 to 20 milliunits (20 to 40 drops) per minute. Pitocin (oxytocin injection, USP) is a sterile, clear, colorless aqueous solution of synthetic oxytocin, for intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection. 1). The possibility of increased blood loss and afibrinogenemia should be kept in mind when administering the drug. Ungefroren H, Davidoff M, Ivell R.

Users guide to correlation coefficients. [35] showed that salivary OXT concentrations were related to libido in boars used in AI programs. Anim Sci J. Sperm morphology was microscopically (Eclipse E400, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) assessed in fixed sperm samples (1:1, v/v, in 0.12% formaldehyde saline solution; Panreac, Barcelona, Spain) by counting a total of 200 sperm per sample. III. Each dot indicates individual SP-OXT values of each ejaculate, dashed lines the median and the 25th and 75th percentiles are indicated with dotted lines. Synthetic 2014;119:2238. Boars with positive and negative litter size deviation did not showed differences in the SP concentrations of OXT (13.693.30ng/mL vs 12.772.51ng/mL) (Fig. Electronic fetal monitoring provides the best means for early detection of overdosage (see. To the very best of our knowledge, this is apparently the first study measuring the concentration of OXT in pig SP and the first report conducted in a livestock species assessing an eventual putative influence of SP-OXT concentrations on sperm reproductive performance post-AI.

Google Scholar. https://doi.org/10.1111/asj.12089. 2016;11(9):e0162958. Our results also revealed that SP-OXT concentrations were not related to quality and sperm functionality parameters assessed in semen samples liquid stored at 17C during 72h. These results agree with those of Goverde et al. [29] reported that the supplementation of pig semen AI-doses with OXT increased the number of sperm in the utero-tubal junction reservoir, having a positive impact on fertility. Oxytocin is frequently used to decrease farrowing time and birth interval as an aid to prevent stillbirths. Oxytocin in pig seminal plasma is positively related with in vivo fertility of inseminated sows. Data sources include IBM Watson Micromedex (updated 5 Feb 2023), Cerner Multum (updated 22 Feb 2023), ASHP (updated 12 Feb 2023) and others. A total of 36 ejaculates (one per boar) collected from boars of different ages (from 9 to 35 months) of the same mentioned above breeds were used. However, recent research has shown that oxytocin use can increase the number of pigs stillborn when used too early in the birth process. Goverde HJ, Bisseling JG, Wetzels AM, Braat DD, Pesman GJ, Sweep FC, et al. Semen samples were grouped (hierarchical clustering, P<0.001) in two groups according to their SP-OXT, one showing the highest OXT concentrations (from 27.79 to 61.04ng/mL, n=17) and another group showing the lowest OXT concentration (from 2.91 to 24.33ng/mL, n=19).

To evaluate the variability among boars (inter-boar variability) and among the ejaculates from the same boar (intra-boar variability), SP samples from ejaculates (four samples collected from four ejaculates per boar) of 18 boars from Large White (n=5) and Landrace (n=13) breeds were analyzed. National Partnership for Women and Families. Total sperm count was calculated by multiplying ejaculate volume by sperm concentration. Maternal sinus bradycardia with abnormal atrioventricular rhythms has also been noted when oxytocin was used concomitantly with cyclopropane anesthesia. Entire ejaculates were collected from mature (ranging from 9 to 35months [mos.]) Stillbirth numbers are typically higher in older parity sows and generally occur later in the birth order. Treatment of swine summer infertility syndrome by means of oxytocin under field conditions. Theriogenology. 2019;6:436. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2019.00436. The data reported in the present study showed that OXT was present at measurable concentrations in the SP from all ejaculates analyzed, with the highest volume ejaculates and those from the youngest boars showing the highest concentrations. Your doctor or midwife may put in place any of the following: As with any medication or intervention, using Pitocin has risks. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter. Some examples of contraindications include the following: In cases where Pitocin is contraindicated, other methods of induction, such as intentionally rupturing the amniotic sac, waiting for labor to occur naturally, or a cesarean section may be used. [27] reported negative relationships of SP-OXT concentrations and total sperm count, motility and morphology also in men. The boars were housed in a Spanish AI-center (AIM Ibrica; Topigs Norsvin Spain SLU, Calasparra, Murcia, Spain), that complied with the Spanish and European rules for both animal health and welfare and for the marketing of seminal AI-doses (Spanish: ES300130640127, August 2006; European: ES13RS04P, July 2012).

In contrast, this same study indicated that 88% of stillbirths were recorded before the 5th pig was born when sows were administered a single dose of oxytocin after the first pig was born. Novak S, Ruiz-Sanchez A, Dixon WT, Foxcroft GR, Dyck MK. WebThe role of sexual intercourse in the initiation of labour is uncertain. Hyperstimulation with strong (hypertonic) or prolonged (tetanic) contractions, or a resting tone of 15 to 20 mmHg or more between contractions can lead to tumultuous labor, uterine rupture, cervical and vaginal lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, uteroplacental hypoperfusion, and variable deceleration of fetal heart, fetal hypoxia, hypercapnia, perinatal hepatic necrosis or death.

There was no relationship between SP concentrations of OXT and ejaculate sperm concentration or total sperm count. Noticeable, the results also showed that boar with best farrowing rates have ejaculates with highest SP-OXT concentrations. 1998;41(1):1722. A neuropeptide in human semen: oxytocin. Deviations are with respect to the breed means represented by the value 0 on the X-axis. Am J Primatol. When properly administered, oxytocin should stimulate uterine contractions comparable to those seen in normal labor. Unlike the Mostaf study [27], the boars included in our study were all fertile, to a greater or lesser extent, but fertile. The authors have declared no conflict of interest. Therefore, one of the current challenges of the swine industry focuses on discovering biomarkers that would allow a more precise selection of fertile boars. In second trimester abortion, oxytocin infusion will often be successful in emptying the uterus. 2012;77(7):146679. 2017;14(1):6981. Management consists of immediate discontinuation of oxytocin and symptomatic and supportive therapy. 2010;31(2):188200. Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain. eCollection 2021. [26] in men, which found that SP-OXT concentrations were not related to the motility and morphology of fresh sperm. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 23% of deliveries in the United States are induced. 2013;(7):CD009241. 2004;128(2):23747. What is Pitocin? Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration. Prez-Patio C, Parrilla I, Barranco I, Vergara-Barbern M, Sim-Alfonso EF, Herrero-Martnez JM, et al. In any case, the results of these studies support our findings about the positive role of seminal OXT in porcine semen fertility. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. For example in one study, 75% of stillbirths were recorded after the 8th pig was born when sows were allowed to farrow without intervention. Mostafa et al. Pitocin is a synthetic version of the pregnancy hormone oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract. Focusing on male pigs, the OXT concentrations measured in SP in this study were higher than those previously reported in saliva samples also collected from boars used in AI programs and measured using the same procedure [36]. 3). Robert Maddock, Jim Wyckoff reports lean hog futures showing upside price potential, Administer oxytocin only after the cervix is fully dilated, For a normally farrowing sow, do not use oxytocin until a minimum of 6 pigs have been born, Use oxytocin when a sow has not had a piglet for over 40 minutes, and. Seminal plasma proteins as potential markers of relative fertility in boars. The results demonstrated that SP-OXT concentrations were influenced by boar age, showing that the youngest boars exhibited the highest SP-OXT concentrations. Violin plots showing the oxytocin (OXT) concentration measured in seminal plasma (SP) samples from entire ejaculates (n=61) collected from boars of different breeds (Duroc, n=14; Pietrain, n=18; Landrace, n=15; Large White, n=14) used as semen donors in artificial insemination programs.

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. Article The control sows were allowed to farrow without intervention. Statistical differences were defined as P<0.05. In addition, oxytocin concentrations were significantly higher at day 1 of lactation than at day 9 after farrowing, but levels increased at day 20 again. The SP concentration of OXT did not differ among breeds (inter-breed variability), the four breeds showing similar concentrations (median, 2575th percentiles; Pietrain: 14.23, 9.9145.95ng/mL; Duroc: 18.43, 6.7837.86ng/mL; Landrace: 11.70, 9.3616.13ng/mL; Large White: 20.99, 16.8225.09ng/mL; Fig. Because of the variability of the combinations of factors which may be present in the conditions listed above, the definition of "unusual circumstances" must be left to the judgment of the physician.

Some of the above empirical studies found that the supplementation of AI-doses with OXT also improved litter size in addition to farrowing rates [31, 33, 34]. https://doi.org/10.1677/joe.0.1400063. The medication is administered through an IV, and its effects typically start within 30 minutes to an hour. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Jordi Roca. Effect of reduction and alkylation treatment in three different assays used for the measurement of oxytocin in saliva of pigs. J Endocrinol. Seminal OXT concentrations (ng/mL) were measured in 169 ejaculates from 61 boars of the Duroc, Pietrain, Landrace and Large White breeds using a direct competitive immunoassay test based on AlphaLISA technology. This assay can contribute to a wider use of oxytocin measurements in pigs as it is a noninvasive sampling procedure that minimizes stress. Six to ten fields were analyzed, accumulating data of more than 600 spermatozoa per semen sample. Intravenous infusion (drip method) is the only acceptable method of parenteral administration of Pitocin for the induction or stimulation of labor. Thereafter, 10L of biotinylated OXT-BSA (1 nmol/L, Cusabio Technology LLC, Houston, TX, USA) was added to each well and the plates incubated again at RT for 60min. 2020;9:113. Lets talk about it, and how it is used in labor induction. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: ACOG Technical Bulletin Number 110November 1987: Induction and augmentation of labor. MeSH Accordingly, the present study aimed to, apparently for the first time, (1) characterize the concentrations of OXT in pig-SP and (2) evaluate the putative relationship between SP-OXT concentrations with sperm quality and function as well as with in vivo fertility AI-outcomes.

Labor stimulation with oxytocin: Effects on obstetrical and neonatal outcomes. These semen AI-doses were used to cervically inseminate twice per estrus a total of 3,167 multiparous (15 farrowing) Landrace and Large White sows (> 100 sows inseminated per boar). 2012;132(1-2):6673. Lpez-Arjona M, Tecles F, Mateo SV, Contreras-Aguilar MD, Martnez-Mir S, Cern JJ, Martnez-Subiela S. Biology (Basel). Each dot indicates SP-OXT concentration of each individual ejaculate, dashed lines the median and dotted lines the 25th and 75th percentiles. Identification of relevant in vivo biomarkers for fertility remains a challenge for the livestock industry. However, the number of intrapartum stillborn deaths and ruptured umbilical cords per litter were significantly higher among the oxytocin treated sows versus the control sows. Bugg GJ, Siddiqui F, Thornton JG. Clinical data. Accurate control of the rate of infusion is essential and is best accomplished by an infusion pump. In this context, it has been reported that individual differences in OXT gene or OXTR led to a change in basal OXT concentrations in humans [43]. Following intramuscular injection of the drug, uterine response occurs within 3 to 5 minutes and persists for 2 to 3 hours. Pitocin can also be used to speed up your labor. Elective induction of labor is defined as the initiation of labor in a pregnant individual who has no medical indications for induction. All patients receiving intravenous oxytocin must be under continuous observation by trained personnel who have a thorough knowledge of the drug and are qualified to identify complications. Experimental procedures involving animals were performed in accordance with the European Directive 2010/63/EU and were approved by the Bioethics Committee of the University of Murcia (research code: 639/2012). Oxytocin is known as the hormone that promotes feelings of love, bonding and well-being. 2019;138:318. Thus, this study suggests that oxytocin administration was causing umbilical cord injury that compromised delivery of oxygen to the piglet during the birth process which caused stillbirth deaths. Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and excreted by the pituitary gland. The primary goal of Pitocin induction is to mimic the natural process of labor with an artificial or a synthetic dosage of naturally occurring hormones in a womans body. ; Methodology: L.P., M.L-A. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-021-00620-z, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-021-00620-z.

Other methods known to speedup slow labor in addition to or instead of Pitocin include breaking the bag of waters (amniotomy), acupressure, and movement, such as walking and bouncing on a yoga ball. 2005;322(1):4352. Perhaps seminal OXT may influence other sperm functions, such as sperm capacitation. It is administered by an IV injection that helps start contractions or further them. Seminal plasma proteins: what role do they play? Pitocin ( oxytocin ) is an injectable medicine in the oxytocic agent drug class. J Perinat Educ. Pitocin is a synthetic version of a hormone called oxytocin. During the end of pregnancy, the release of oxytocin stimulates the muscles of the uterus. This causes contractions to begin and gets the process of laborgoing. The hormone is often misspelled, even in medical records, as pitosin and petosin. What Does Pitocin Do to the Baby? The dosage of oxytocin is determined by the uterine response and must therefore be individualized and initiated at a very low level. Thackare H, Nicholson HD, Whittington K. Oxytocin--its role in male reproduction and new potential therapeutic uses. Sperm membrane lipid disorders were assessed in 50L semen samples extended in 950L of PBS and incubated with 2.5L of H-42 (0.05mg/mL in PBS) and 10L of Yo-Pro-1 (2.5mol/L in DMSO) at 38C in darkness for 8min. Sperm motility was evaluated using a computer assisted sperm analyzer (CASA, ISASV1, Proiser R+D S.L., Paterna, Spain). For each standard and diluted SP-samples, a 15L aliquot was added, in duplicate, into the appropriate wells. Duziski K, Knecht D, Srodo S. The use of oxytocin in liquid semen doses to reduce seasonal fluctuations in the reproductive performance of sows and improve litter parameters--a 2-year study. 2021;74:106562. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.domaniend.2020.106562. Three groups were generated for both farrowing rate and litter size. The following dosage information is based upon various regimens and indications in general use. The condition of mother and fetus should immediately be evaluated by the responsible physician and appropriate steps taken. If uterine contractions become too powerful, the infusion can be abruptly stopped, and oxytocic stimulation of the uterine musculature will soon wane (see. I. The percentage of spermatozoa with an average path velocity greater than 20m/s were considered as motile and those with a straight-line velocity more than 40m/s were recorded as showing progressive motility. The combined solution containing 10 milliunits (mU) of oxytocin/mL is rotated in the infusion bottle for thorough mixing. The SP concentration of OXT varied widely (P<0.001) among boars (inter-boar variability), ranging from 3.41 to 47.92ng/mL (Fig. Seitchik J, Castillo M: Oxytocin augmentation of dysfunctional labor. PLoS One. Anim. Epub 2020 Aug 31. Attach (piggyback) the Pitocin-containing bottle with the infusion pump to the infusion line as close to the infusion site as possible. Water intoxication with convulsions, which is caused by the inherent antidiuretic effect of oxytocin, is a serious complication that may occur if large doses (40 to 50 milliunits/minute) are infused for long periods. 2007 Mar;1098:312-22. doi: 10.1196/annals.1384.006. To investigate variability between breeds, SP was harvested from the ejaculates (one per boar) of 61 boars from Duroc (n=14), Pietrain (n=18), Landrace (n=15) and Large White (n=14) breeds. Maternal deaths due to hypertensive episodes, subarachnoid hemorrhage, rupture of the uterus, and fetal deaths due to various causes have been reported associated with the use of parenteral oxytocic drugs for induction of labor or for augmentation in the first and second stages of labor. Boars were free of chromosomal translocations and with percentages of spermatozoa with fragmented nuclear DNA lower than 3% (measured using the sperm chromatin stability assay, following the procedure described by Martinez-Pastor et al., [35]). ), Pitocin However, we do not believe that this is the case in our study. There are several methods to encourage labor, but in medical settings, one of the most commonly used is the drug Pitocin. Once the ejaculate volume was measured, three 5mL semen aliquots were collected from each ejaculate to: (1) measure sperm concentration and evaluate sperm morphology; (2) evaluate sperm functional parameters once extended to 30106 sperm/mL and stored at 17C for 72h (analyzed at 0h and 72h of storage time); and (3) harvest SP samples for OXT measurement. California Privacy Statement, Broekhuijse MLWJ, Gaustad AH, Bolarin Guilln A, Knol EF. 2: addition of oxytocin to boar semen. This situation evidences that the conventional semen analyses routinely used in AI centers for selecting boars and/or ejaculates are not reliable enough to foresee the reproductive performance of seminal AI-doses [4]. This hypothesis would be supported by the in vitro experiments carried out by Bodanszky et al. National Institutes of Health, Office of Research on Women's Health. However, these concerns are not easy to affirm or dismiss because the perception of pain is quite subjective and variable. Reproduction. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jprot.2013.05.029. Andrologia. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0093-691X(98)00032-6. Boars with positive farrowing rate deviation showed ejaculates with higher (P<0.05) SP concentrations of OXT (meanSEM; 21.944.24ng/mL) than boars with negative farrowing rate deviation (9.040.82ng/mL) (Fig. Although the specific components of SP involved in these reproductive events have not yet been fully identified, proteins and peptides would be among the major contributors [8]. It is standardized to contain 10 units of oxytocic hormone/mL and contains 0.5% Chlorobutanol, a chloroform derivative as a preservative, 1.65 mg acetic acid and 0.16 mg ammonium acetate as buffers, and with the pH adjusted with acetic acid to achieve a targeted pH of 3.5. 1987;120(3):98694. It makes us want to socialize, which further increases our oxytocin production, which then makes us feel good so we continue to seek out relationships with others.

Oxytocin has a plasma half-life of about 1 to 6 minutes which is decreased in late pregnancy and during lactation. The .gov means its official. These properties are thought to be due to the fact that oxytocin and vasopressin differ in regard to only two of the eight amino acids (see PRECAUTIONS section). 2018;53(S2):1801. Parrilla I, del Olmo D, Sijses L, Martinez-Alborcia MJ, Cuello C, Vazquez JM, et al. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with oxytocin. Ejaculates with higher SP-OXT concentration/mL (hierarchically grouped; P<0.001) had larger volume and came from younger boars (P<0.05). A hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to classify the boars into groups according to fertility outcomes. Number of intrapartum stillborn piglets per litter with various variables born to control and oxytocin-treated sows. WebOxytocin is a natural hormone that manages key aspects of the female and male reproductive systems, including labor and delivery and lactation, as well as aspects of Also, severe meconium staining was higher in live born and still born pigs born in oxytocin treated litters. Therefore, it would be reasonable that the differences between boars in SP concentrations of OXT could be genetically determined. Effects of different sexual stimuli on oxytocin release, uterine activity and receptive behavior in estrous sows. New in-depth analytical approach of the porcine seminal plasma proteome reveals potential fertility biomarkers. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2011.11.016. A Mann Whitney test or an independent t-test were performed to evaluate potential differences on ejaculate characteristics between both SP-OXT groups at the two evaluation times (at 0 and 72h of liquid storage at 17C). 2005;88(3-4):32539. The other sperm parameters were assessed by flow cytometry (BD FACS Canto II flow cytometer, Becton Dickinson & Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Thank you, {{form.email}}, for signing up. Together with neurophysin, it is packaged into neurosecretory WebOxytocin is a hormone of interest in reproduction, but also in the field of psychology and behavior, being considered as a biomarker of positive emotions. This material is provided for educational purposes only and is not intended for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. In conclusion, OXT was present in pig SP in measurable concentrations, which differed among boars and among ejaculates within boar, showing higher concentrations in young boars. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. https://doi.org/10.3109/01485019808988540.
