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
