Oxytocin is a hypothalamic nonapeptide acting on oxytocin receptors in the uterus, breast and brain. Intranasal oxytocin is studied for social cognition, appetite and stress.

• Meta-analysis (466 participants with neurodevelopmental disorders): no significant effect on emotion recognition and a small significant effect on theory of mind.
• Meta-analysis of appetite trials: single-dose intranasal oxytocin reduced food intake in non-psychiatric participants but not in anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder or schizophrenia.

• Specific oxytocin injection products such as Pitocin have approved obstetric indications; supplier research powders are not those formulations. Intranasal behaviour or appetite research does not establish their efficacy.
• Reviewers call for larger, well-designed randomized trials.
