2. Description:

Oxytocin can stimulate the myoepithelial cell around the mammary gland alveolus and gland vessel

contracting, and promote milk ejection. Oxytocin can selectively stimulate uterus, and enhance

contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus. The stimulation effect to uterus is different, because

of the dosage and the body hormone level. Low dose Oxytocin can strengthen the uterus to contract

in the pregnancy end period; and high dose Oxytocin can cause the uterus smooth muscle tetanic

contraction, and has the blood vessel pressed to hemostasis.

Oxytocin (Oxt) is a mammalian neurohypophysial hormone. Produced by the hypothalamus and

stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, oxytocin acts primarily as a neuromodulator in

the brain.
Oxytocin plays an important role in the neuroanatomy of intimacy, specifically in sexual reproduction

of both sexes, in particular during and after childbirth; its name, meaning "swift childbirth", comes from Greek, oksys "swift" and , tokos "birth." It is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix

and uterus during labor, facilitating birth, maternal bonding, and, after stimulation of the nipples,

lactation. Both childbirth and milk ejection result from positive feedback mechanisms.

Oxytocin is a hormone that is made in the brain, in the hypothalamus, and it is transported to, and secreted by, the pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain.1

Chemically it is known as a nonapeptide (a peptide containing nine amino acids), and biologically, as

a neuropeptide. It acts both as a hormone and as a brain neurotransmitter.

In both men and women, sexual intercourse stimulates the release of oxytocin, which has a role in erection and orgasm. The reason for this is not fully understood, although in women, it has been proposed that the increased uterine motility may help sperm to reach their destination.

The research to uncover oxytocin's "anxiolytic and pro-social influences, beneficial to relief, reproduction, and love" is what has led scientists to describe it as a one of the "most promising neuromodulator/

neurotransmitter systems of the brain for psychotherapeutic intervention and treatment of numerous psychiatric illnesses, for example social phobia, autism, and postpartum depression.

3. Applications:

Oxytocin is used for stimulation of uterus contractions to facilitate parturition, induced abortion,

postpartumhemorrhage, fetus membranes retains, and postpartum uterus meromorphosis.

2ml:20 Units, the proposed doses for subcutaneously or intramuscular administration of Oxytocin

are 30~100I.U. for horse and cow, 10~50I.U. for caprine and swine, 2~10I.U. for dog.

Injected oxytocin analogues are used for labor induction and to support labor in case of difficult parturition. It has largely replaced ergometrine as the principal agent to increase uterine tone in

acute postpartum hemorrhage. Oxytocin is also used in veterinary medicine to facilitate birth and to stimulate milk release. The tocolyticagent atosiban (Tractocile) acts as an antagonist of oxytocin receptors; this drug is registered in many countries to suppress premature labor between 24 and

33 weeks of gestation. It has fewer side effects than drugs previously used for this purpose (ritodrine).
