NCT ID NCT04897802
First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study looked at whether people with hypopituitarism (underactive pituitary gland) have low oxytocin, a hormone that affects appetite, mood, and social bonding. Researchers gave 42 adults a diabetes drug (exenatide) to see if it could trigger oxytocin release. The goal was to understand the condition better, not to treat it.
