Oxytocin
52,00$
Description
Oxytocin is a naturally occurring nonapeptide neurohormone produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. It plays a key role in reproductive physiology, social bonding, and behavioral neuroscience. In research, Oxytocin is widely studied for its influence on emotional regulation, trust and empathy, maternal behavior, and stress response. Epigenetix Labs provides Oxytocin 5 mg in high-purity, research-grade form. This compound is not approved for human or veterinary use and is intended strictly for in vitro and preclinical laboratory research.
10 Research-Based Reasons to Study
- Binds to OXTR receptors in brain and reproductive tissues
- Regulates social behavior, trust, and empathy
- Influences maternal bonding and caregiving behavior
- Modulates stress response and cortisol levels
- Facilitates uterine contractions in reproductive research
- Stimulates milk let-down reflex in lactation models
- Supports research on pair bonding and attachment
- Reduces anxiety-like behaviors in animal studies
- Aids in neuropsychiatric and social cognition models
- Studied for its role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research

| Dimensions | 1,5 × 1,5 × 3,5 cm |
| Research Applications | Behavioral neuroscience and social cognition |
| Key Research Findings | Studies in Nature Neuroscience show that Oxytocin enhances social recognition and trust by modulating amygdala activity |
| Scientific Background | Oxytocin exerts its effects by binding to the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), a G-protein coupled receptor expressed in uterine, mammary, and brain tissues. Beyond its well-documented role in labor induction and lactation, Oxytocin has emerged as a major regulator of social cognition, pair bonding, and emotional behavior via central nervous system pathways. |
