$28.99
Oxytocin is a naturally occurring nine–amino acid peptide hormone and neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It has been extensively studied for its role in social behavior, reproductive physiology, and neuroendocrine signaling pathways, including mechanisms involved in uterine contraction and lactation. Synthetic formulations have established clinical use in obstetric settings, while additional applications continue to be investigated in controlled research environments.
