Abstract
► The current study examines the protective effect of oxytocin (OT) on apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. ► We using immunohistochemistry studies and transmission electron microscopy showed that oxytocin decreases apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. ► Our findings suggest that oxytocin cardioprotective role mediated by the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel and permeability transition pore modulation.
