\"\"Algunos estudios previos han demostrado que la oxitocina, conocida como la hormona del amor, est\u00e1 relacionada con los patrones sexuales y con la conducta maternal y paternal; sin embargo un equipo de cient\u00edficos de la Universidad de Bonn (Alemania) ha concluido que con esta hormona los hombres se mantienen fieles a sus parejas.<\/p>\n

Para demostrarlo los investigadores administraron oxitocina a un grupo de participantes, a otro se le aplic\u00f3 un placebo a trav\u00e9s de un aerosol nasal. Todos los voluntarios, entre casados y solteros, fueron sanos y heterosexuales; posteriormente se les present\u00f3 a una mujer atractiva para estudiar su reacci\u00f3n. A todos ellos se les pidi\u00f3 que indicaran qu\u00e9 distancia consideraban adecuada respecto a la mujer y cu\u00e1l les parec\u00eda inc\u00f3moda.<\/p>\n

Los cient\u00edficos descubrieron que del conjunto de voluntarios del experimento aquellos casados o con pareja que hab\u00edan recibido la hormona prefer\u00edan mantenerse a una mayor distancia de la mujer en comparaci\u00f3n con aquellos que hab\u00edan recibido el placebo.<\/p>\n

Encontraron en cambio que entre los varones solteros o sin pareja no ocurr\u00eda lo mismo. Seg\u00fan sus autores, el estudio proporciona la primera evidencia de que la oxitocina puede tener un papel clave en la fidelidad de los hombres, como ya se hab\u00eda visto en animales.<\/p>\n

The ‘love hormone’ oxytocin may keep men faithful in relationships <\/strong>
\nResearchers from the University of Bonn in Germany found that when men in monogamous relationships were given a dose of oxytocin nasal spray, they kept a larger physical distance — about four to six inches — from attractive women they didn’t know compared to men who received a placebo.<\/p>\n

The \u00ablove hormone\u00bb oxytocin may help keep straight men in relationships faithful by prompting them to steer clear of hot women. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany found that when men in monogamous relationships were given a dose of oxytocin nasal spray, they kept a larger physical distance — about four to six inches — from attractive women they didn’t know compared to men who received a placebo.<\/p>\n

However for single men, the oxytocin spray had no effect on the distance they kept between themselves and the attractive women. The study involved 57 heterosexual men.<\/p>\n

\u00abBecause oxytocin is known to increase trust in people, we expected men under the influence of the hormone to allow the female experimenter to come even closer, but the direct opposite happened,\u00bb says researcher Dr. Ren\u00e9 Hurlemann.<\/p>\n

In humans, oxytocin has been found to promote bonding between parents and their children and also reduce conflict between couples. MyHealthNewsDaily also cites a recent study that found that couples with higher levels of oxytocin in the beginning of their relationship were more likely to stick together than couples with lower levels of the hormone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
