Research compound supplied in Australia by Pulse Biolabs for laboratory use. Available in 5mg.
In the uterus, oxytocin’s job is settled and used in medicine every day. In the brain, what it does is one of the most argued questions in behavioural research.
Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid hypothalamic peptide hormone, supplied as the acetate salt, that acts on a single receptor found in the uterus, breast and several brain regions. It is studied because the same signal has an established role in labour and a contested proposed role in social behaviour. Obstetric evidence comes from randomised trials in women at term with registered medicines; behavioural evidence comes from small intranasal studies in adults whose findings have often failed to replicate.
