Description
Oxytocin (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) is a nine-amino-acid peptide hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. It functions as both a hormone and neurotransmitter, influencing a wide range of physiological and behavioral processes.
Mechanism of Action
-
Binds to oxytocin receptors (OXTR) in the brain, reproductive system, and cardiovascular tissues
-
Modulates emotional bonding, trust, empathy, and stress response through central pathways involving dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol
-
Regulates uterine contractions, lactation, and smooth-muscle relaxation peripherally
-
Supports fertility, social behavior studies, and regenerative research
Dosage Guidelines (Research Use)
-
Social Cognition / Emotional Regulation: 48 mcg per injection, once daily
-
Fertility / Reproductive Research: 100 mcg 30–45 minutes before experimental procedures
-
Treatment Duration: Typically several weeks, adjustable based on response and research objectives
Important Notes & Safety
-
Individual Response: Effects may vary; start at lower doses and adjust according to experimental outcomes
-
Monitoring: Regular assessment of physiological and behavioral responses is recommended for accuracy and safety
