Excitatory effects of astrocytic hydrogen sulfide on the electrical activity of oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus

Conclusions: These findings indicate that the auto-excitatory effect of OT on OT neurons is mediated by H2S from astrocytes at least partially and astrocytic H2S can elicit retraction of astrocyte processes that subsequently increase OT neur onal excitability.
