  3. 7. The effects of some peptide hormones on osteoblast-like cells : with specific focus on oxytocin and vasopressin

Recently, an OXT-receptor was demonstrated in human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells, and it has been suggested that patients with central diabetes insipidus (deficiency of AVP) have decreased bone mass.
