Oxitocina y vasopresina: diferencias sexuales y sus implicaciones clínicas / Oxytocin and vasopressin: sexual differences and clinical implications
Resumen
Resumen
La oxitocina y la vasopresina son similares en estructura química, pero difieren en sus funciones. Ambas se producen en diversas áreas del cerebro, se transportan a través del sistema porta hipofisiario a la hipófisis anterior y se distribuyen a sus órganos blanco actuando como hormonas. Estas fungen también como neuroreguladores, con receptores dispersos en el septum lateral, la amígdala central, el hipocampo, el hipotálamo y el tronco encefálico, estructuras asociadas a la conducta socio-sexual en todos los vertebrados. Los sistemas vasopresinérgico y oxitocinérgico difieren entre los cerebros femenino y masculino. Aunado a esto los esteroides sexuales intervienen en la expresión de los genes para oxitocina, la síntesis de sus receptores y su liberación. Además, promueven o inhiben la transcripción de los genes para vasopresina. Ambos neuropéptidos participan en el reconocimiento social, el vínculo de pareja, la cognición y la agresión. La disrupción de los sistemas de estos neuromoduladores se suma a las causas de algunos desórdenes psiquiátricos, como la depresión, la esquizofrenia, el autismo y la personalidad limítrofe. Esta revisión está enfocada a describir las diferencias entre géneros, tanto de la síntesis, como la distribución de los receptores y los efectos que generan la oxitocina y la vasopresina en la conducta para comprender la prevalencia, la sintomatología y la respuesta a los tratamientos a dichas patologías.
Abstract
Oxytocin and vasopressin share a similar chemical structure but have different functions. Both hormones are produced in different brain areas, are transported through the hypophyseal portal system, pass to the anterior hypophysis, and released to reach their target organs. These hormones also act as neuromodulators, where its receptors are found in the lateral septum, the middle amygdala, the hippocampus, the hypothalamus, and the brain stem. These brain structures regulate socio-sexual behaviors in vertebrates. Moreover, the oxytocinergic and the vasopressin systems are sexually different. The sexual steroids promote oxytocin release and the oxytocin receptor synthesis, as well as promoting or inhibiting vasopressin release and its receptor genetic transcription. Both neuropeptides are involved in social recognition, male-female pair bonding, aggression, and cognition. Furthermore, the disruption or malfunctioning of the oxytocin and vasopressin systems adds to the causes of some psychiatric disorders like depression, schizophrenia, autism, and borderline personality.
