Description
Understanding oxytocin will help you take better care of your health and lead to a better understanding of how your body works.
In women, oxytocin is responsible for signaling contractions of the uterus during labor. The hormone stimulates uterine muscles to contract, so labor begins.
For men, the function of oxytocin is less important, but it has a role to play in the movement of sperm. It also appears to affect the production of testosterone in the testes.
Studies of oxytocin have also revealed that it is an important chemical messenger that controls certain human behaviors and social interactions. It is oxytocin that triggers the bond between a mother and child, and it can also play a role in recognition, sexual arousal, confidence, and anxiety. Some research shows that the hormone can also affect addiction and stress.
