Oxytocin Overview

Oxytocin acetate is the acetate-salt form of oxytocin—a 9-amino-acid peptide hormone and neuropeptide that acts as an agonist at the oxytocin receptor (OXTR). Although most commonly linked to labor and delivery, oxytocin actually has broad peripheral and central effects. It plays an important role in pair bonding, social cognition and functioning, and even fear conditioning. Oxytocin also serves a role in metabolic homeostasis and cardiovascular regulation. Oxytocin acetate can function as a stress-coping molecule with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and protective effects especially in the face of adversity or trauma. Research is ongoing and the claimed benefits are still emerging.
