Anything that contains oxytocin?

Oxytocin is a neurohormone that is released to stimulate uterine contractions. When labor is induced, Pitocin is given. This is a synthetic form of oxytocin. Additionally, oxytocin stimulates mammary glands for milk let down in breast feeding mothers.


The target tissue for oxytocin are the?

I will quote John E. Morley, MB, BCh for this one:Oxytocin has 2 major targets: the myoepithelial cells of the breast, which surround the alveoli of the mammary gland, and the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. Suckling stimulates the production of oxytocin, which causes the myoepithelial cells to contract. This contraction causes milk to move from the alveoli to large sinuses for ejection (ie, the milk letdown reflex of nursing mothers).Oxytocin stimulates contraction of uterine smooth muscle cells, and uterine sensitivity to oxytocin increases throughout pregnancy. However, plasma levels do not increase sharply during parturition, and the role of oxytocin in the initiation of labor is unclear. There is no recognized stimulus for oxytocin release in men, although men have extremely low levels.
