In a previous communication (1951) it was shown that the hyperglycaemic factor described by Meduna and Vaichulis (1948) in the urine of psychotics consisted of two fractions, and that the more active and specific of these was of a protein nature. Morgan and Pilgrim (1952) have prepared concentrates of this factor from the urine of male and female schizophrenics, and have produced further evidence that it is a protein or a substance strongly bound to a protein. In normal male urine they did not find a measurable quantity of the factor.

SUMMARY A method is described for the extraction and concentration of oxytocin from urine, satisfactory for the radioimmunoassay of this peptide. The recovery of added oxytocin was 64·8 ± 12·6 (s.d.)% from urine samples with an osmolality less than 770 mosm./kg, and 44·9 ± 13·5% for urine samples of greater osmolality. Infusions of oxytocin at a rate of 1 mu./min into male and female volunteers showed a direct relationship between the volume of urine and the total amount of oxytocin excreted during any 1-h period. Extracts of normal male urine contained an immunoreactive material which behaved identically with synthetic oxytocin in two systems of chromatography.
