Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in a Large Southern European Population. Analysis of modulatory factors. The APNA study.

abstract：:Recent evidence suggests that oxytocin (OXT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) are involved in the response to stress. We have examined the changes in peripheral plasma OXT during abdominal surgery in eight patients (six males, two female; ages 60-82 years) undergoing hemicolectomy and compared the results with those for...
