Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone that plays a crucial role in childbirth, lactation, and social bonding. It exerts its effects by activating specific G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on the surface of target cells, primarily in the uterus, mammary glands, and brain. When oxytocin binds to these receptors, it triggers a signaling cascade that increases intracellular calcium levels, leading to muscle contraction. During childbirth, oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions by enhancing the release of calcium ions and increasing the concentration of prostaglandins, which further stimulate contractions.
Oxytocin is used in various obstetric and gynecological settings:
Oxytocin should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. The storage temperature should be between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F) unless otherwise specified. Keep the container tightly closed to maintain stability and efficacy.
