Plasma Oxytocin Response to Oral Estrogens in Healthy Controls and AVP-Deficiency
Sponsor: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Summary
The PHOENIX study aims to investigate whether oral estradiol valerate (EV) and ethinylestradiol (EE) can stimulate oxytocin (OXT) and neurophysin-1 (NP-1) release in humans. The goal is to assess their potential as a safe diagnostic stimulation test for oxytocin deficiency, particularly in patients with arginine vasopressin (AVP) deficiency.
