Oxytocin 5 MG

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring neuropeptide hormone primarily known for its roles in uterine contraction during childbirth and milk ejection during lactation. Beyond its classical reproductive functions, oxytocin has gained extensive research interest for its broad physiological and therapeutic potential in social behavior, metabolism, pain management, and cardiovascular health.

Research involving oxytocin commonly explores:

• Its role in regulating social bonding, maternal behaviors, emotional processing, and psychiatric conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, depression, and anxiety.
• Appetite suppression, weight loss, and improvement of metabolic parameters including glycemic control and lipid metabolism in obesity and diabetes models.
• Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, with potential applications in acute and chronic pain management including headache, arthritis, and gastrointestinal pain.
• Cardiovascular protection through regulation of blood pressure, anti-inflammatory effects, and prevention of cardiac hypertrophy and ischemic injury.
• Novel therapeutic applications in neurodegenerative diseases, addiction, and stress-related disorders.
• Development of long-acting and selective oxytocin analogs with improved receptor specificity and pharmacokinetics for enhanced clinical use.
