Oxytocin
Oxytocin, abbreviated as OT, is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide produced by the hypothalamus of mammals and released by the posterior pituitary gland.
Main Efficacy and Mechanism of Action of Oxytocin 1. Promotes Labor and Uterine Contraction: During labor, a woman's body releases a large amount of oxytocin, stimulating uterine smooth muscle contraction and dilating the cervix, thereby accelerating the labor process. Clinically, synthetic oxytocin is often used for induction of labor, labor stimulation, and postpartum hemostasis. 2. Promotes Milk Discharge (Lactation): When an infant suckles, a nerve reflex is triggered, releasing oxytocin. It causes the myoepithelial cells around the mammary alveoli to contract, squeezing milk into the mammary ducts and expelling it, assisting breastfeeding. 3. Reproductive System Support: In both men and women, oxytocin levels rise significantly during orgasm, helping to promote libido, contraction of reproductive tract smooth muscles (such as assisting sperm transport), and enhance sexual pleasure.
