Oxytocin and another hormone, ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) are very similar in structure. If there is too much oxytocin present in the blood it can begin to act like ADH. The job of ADH is to induce the kidneys to produce less urine and help the body retain more fluid. So too much ADH activity leads to volume overload, also known as water intoxication.
