Oxytocin Description

---

1	Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain.
2	Oxytocin can also intensify memories of bonding gone bad, such as in cases where men have poor relationships with their mothers. It can also make people less accepting of people they see as outsiders. In other words, whether oxytocin makes you feel cuddly or suspicious of others depends on the environment.
3	Inducing labor in women with Rh problems, diabetes, preeclampsia, or when it is in the best interest of the mother or fetus. It is also used to help abort the fetus in cases of incomplete abortion or miscarriage, produce contractions during the third stage of labor, and control bleeding after childbirth.
4	Oxytocin is a uterine stimulant. It works by causing uterine contractions by changing calcium concentrations in the uterine muscle cells.

 

Oxytocin in women

---

Oxytocin is a particularly important hormone for women. "Oxytocin is a peptide produced in the brain that was first recognized for its role in the birth process, and also in nursing," said Larry Young, a behavioral neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

The hormone causes uterine contractions during labor and helps shrink the uterus after delivery. When an infant suckles at his or her mother's breast, the stimulation causes a release of oxytocin, which, in turn, orders the body to "let down" milk for the baby to drink.

 

Oxytocin in men

---

In men, as in women, oxytocin facilitates bonding. Dads who got a boost of oxytocin via a nasal spray played more closely with their 5-month-old babies than dads who didn't get the hormone zap, a 2012 study found. (There is another hormone, called vasopressin, which plays a stronger role in men.)

Another study found that men in relationships given a burst of oxytocin spray stood farther away from an attractive woman than men who weren't given any oxytocin. Single men didn't see any effect from the hormone, suggesting oxytocin may work as a fidelity booster for guys who are already bonded with another woman.

 

Oxytocin Function

---

1. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland.
2. Oxytocin is released during sex, childbirth and lactation to aid reproductive functions.
3. This neuropeptide exerts multiple psychological effects, influencing social behavior and emotion.
4. Oxytocin is prescribed for a variety of obstetric and gynecological reasons, including to aid in childbirth.
5. High levels of the "love hormone" have been observed in couples in the first six months of a relationship.
6. Oxytocin has an anti-anxiety (anxiolytic) effect and may increase romantic attachment and empathy.
7. Research shows that oxytocin may have beneficial effects for people with autistic spectrum disorders.
8. Oxytocin appears to play a role in protecting the intestine from damage, with potential for use in treatment of irritable bowel disease.
