TL;DR
The temporal profiles of oxytocin were examined in the cerebrospinal fluid of the cat and rat and no daily rhythm of the peptide was evident in the CSF of either the cat or rat.
Abstract
The temporal profiles of oxytocin were examined in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the cat and rat. Unlike the marked daily rhythm of oxytocin concentrations recently described in the CSF of the rhesus monkey, no daily rhythm of the peptide was evident in the CSF of either the cat or rat. The apparent species specificity of the CSF oxytocin profiles among these mammals is contrasted with the consistent expression of a daily rhythm of arginine-vasopressin in the CSF of each of the three species.

Immuno-enzyme histochemical investigations on the hypothalamus of the normal rat showed that the Suprachiasmatic nuclei produce vasopressin and that it is highly probable that these nuclei do not produce oxytocin.

It is concluded that centrally released oxytocin may be a naturally occurring amnesic neuropeptide and appeared to be either facilitated or attenuated after subcutaneous Oxytocin administration.

The presence of parvocellular vasopressin‐ and neurophysin‐ containing neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) was investigated in 13 mammalian species representing six mammalian orders, using specific antisera to vasopresses in the unlabelled antibody‐enzyme immunoperoxidase method.

Data indicate that, in the rhesus monkey, the SCN is important for the generation, photic entrainment, and photic suppression of the melatonin rhythm, however, circadian oscillators located outside of theSCN region may control the normal daily cortisol rhythm and perhaps themelatonin rhythm in the absence of the SCn.

The results indicate that the daily vasopressin rhythm in rodent CSF is endogenously generated and that its phase is synchronized to the environmental light-dark cycle.

The data indicate that after hemorrhage, there is greater stimulation of AVP than OT, whereas there is comparable stimulation of both peptides after hypertonic saline, which indicates that hemorrhage or hypertonics stimulate release of both AVP and OT.

The SCN appears to be of fundamental importance for regulating the circadian organization of drinking; however, an oscillator located elsewhere in the squirrel monkey is capable of generating the core body temperature rhythm.

This study supports previous reports of extrahypothalamic localization of vasopressin by immuno-histochemical methods and is clear that AVP is not confined to the hypothalamo-hypophysial axis, and the possibilities that this may reflect an involvement in brain function are discussed.

The presence in theSCN of AVP in vesicles of different size than those in the SON suggests that synthesis of this substance is indeed occurring within the SCN cells.

Results indicate that both the vasopressin and melatonin rhythms in cat CSF are endogenously generated and are entrained by the daily light-dark cycle.

The results suggest that the OT rhythm is endogenously generated and that the daily light-dark cycle normally synchronizes the rhythm to the 24-hr cycle.
