![[Arg8]-Vasotocin](https://lktlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/v0275.png)
Vasotocin is a peptide that acts on vasotocin receptors and exhibits anorexigenic activity in vivo. Vasotocin decreases feeding behavior, increases stress responses, and induces courtship behavior in animal models. Vasotocin is a non-mammalian vasopressin-oxytocin analog.
