What is oxytocin?

Oxytocin (Oxt) is a mammalian neurohypophysial hormone. Produced by the hypothalamus and stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, oxytocin acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain.
Oxytocin plays an important role in the neuroanatomy of intimacy, specifically in sexual reproduction of both sexes, in particular during and after childbirth; its name, meaning "swift childbirth", comes from Greek, oksys "swift" and , tokos "birth." It is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, facilitating birth, maternal bonding, and, after stimulation of the nipples, lactation. Both childbirth and milk ejection result from positive feedback mechanisms.

Oxytocin has been best known for its roles in female reproduction. It is released in large amounts during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples. It is a facilitator for childbirth and breastfeeding. However, recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, bonding, and maternal behaviors.

This small nine amino acid peptide is now believed to be involved in a wide variety of physiological and pathological functions such as sexual activity, penile erection, ejaculation, pregnancy, uterine contraction, milk ejection, maternal behavior, social bonding, stress and probably many more, which makes oxytocin and its receptor potential candidates as targets for drug therapy.

Applications Of Oxytocin 

Injected oxytocin analogues are used for labor induction and to support labor in case of difficult parturition. It has largely replaced ergometrine as the principal agent to increase uterine tone in acute postpartum hemorrhage. Oxytocin is also used in veterinary medicine to facilitate birth and to stimulate milk release.

The tocolyticagent atosiban (Tractocile) acts as an antagonist of oxytocin receptors; this drug is registered in many countries to suppress premature labor between 24 and 33 weeks of gestation. It has fewer side effects than drugs previously used for this purpose (ritodrine, salbutamol, and terbutaline).

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland.

Oxytocin is released during sex, childbirth and lactation to aid reproductive functions.

This neuropeptide exerts multiple psychological effects, influencing social behavior and emotion.

Oxytocin is prescribed for a variety of obstetric and gynecological reasons, including to aid in childbirth.

High levels of the "love hormone" have been observed in couples in the first six months of a relationship.

Oxytocin has an anti-anxiety (anxiolytic) effect and may increase romantic attachment and empathy.

Research shows that oxytocin may have beneficial effects for people with autistic spectrum disorders.

Oxytocin appears to play a role in protecting the intestine from damage, with potential for use in treatment of irritable bowel disease.
