Background: Oxytocin (Oxt) and its receptor (Oxtr) gene system has been implicated in cardiomyogenesis and cardioprotection; however, effects of chronic activation of Oxtr are not known. We generated and investigated transgenic (TG) mice that overexpress Oxtr specifically in the heart.
Methods And Results: Cardiac-specific overexpression of Oxtr was obtained by having the α-major histocompatibility complex promoter drive the mouse Oxtr gene (α-Mhc-Oxtr).
