• Descrição: Oxytocin is a hormone that is released from the pituitary gland. It has been shown to have a variety of biological effects, including stimulation of uterine contractions, breast milk production, and social behaviors such as bonding and sexual behavior. Oxytocin has also been shown to regulate the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. This effect may be due to oxytocin's ability to stimulate GABA receptors. In addition, oxytocin can inhibit lipolysis by inhibiting the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue. The effect on fatty acid release is due to an inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity. Oxytocin can also cause membrane hyperpolarization by increasing potassium ion flow through channels in the cell membrane. Oxytocin has also been shown to act as a growth factor for certain types of cells, such as smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts.
