Oxytocin also exerts a number of more basic behavioural effects in both male and femaleanimals (Richard et al., 1991). Administration of oxytocin in rats may for example induceanxiolytic and sedative effects (UvnaÈs-Moberg et al., 1992; UvnaÈs-Moberg et al., 1994).Further, during the periods when oxytocin release is continuously triggered, as duringbreast-feeding women are calmer and more social than are non-breast-feeding women.Some correlation data support the assumption that oxytocin play a role in regulatingbehaviour during this period. The level of calmness is related to basal level of oxytocin inthe breast-feeding women and in contrast the number of oxytocin peaks is related to theirsocial competence suggesting that calm and social interaction represent different aspects of the oxytocin pattern (Nissen et al., 1998).
