| Introduction | Oxytocin, also known as oxytocin, is a uterine contractile drug that can be extracted or chemically synthesized from the posterior pituitary gland of animals.
Oxytocin, a pleiotropic hypothalamic peptide, helps with labor, lactation, and prosocial behavior. The pair acts as a stress coping molecule that has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and protective effects, especially in the face of adversity or trauma. |
