This invention discloses a mouse experimental method for detecting the
tissue distribution of exogenous
oxytocin, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. Specifically,
oxytocin is injected into or nasally sprayed into
oxytocin knockout mice, and body tissues, including but not limited to
brain tissue,
mammary gland tissue, blood, heart tissue,
uterine tissue,
bone tissue, and
muscle tissue, are collected at different time points. The
tissue distribution and content of oxytocin are then detected using liquid
chromatography-
mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS). This experimental method allows for a wider range of experimental samples, not just focusing on
brain tissue and blood; it also has higher sensitivity and stronger specificity; and by utilizing oxytocin
gene knockout mice, it eliminates the influence of endogenous oxytocin, providing certain assistance for subsequent animal experiments and
clinical research on oxytocin.
