I am reviewing a paper for JEP that says the oxytocin like activity from a plant of Ficus family. Interestingly I was searching some works for that review, when I came accross this question. I will do some study and for some one interested do contact the JEP or krishnakaphlevet@Yahoo.com for specific queery.
What else can I help you with?
How does the oxytocin causes increase in fruit size?
Oxytocin does not directly cause an increase in fruit size. Oxytocin is a hormone involved in social bonding and reproductive functions in animals. Fruit size is primarily influenced by genetic factors, growing conditions (such as sunlight, nutrients, water), and other physiological processes within the plant.
How is the level of oxytocin controlled by a positive-feedback mechanism?
Oxytocin release is controlled by a positive-feedback mechanism during childbirth. When contractions of the uterus stimulate oxytocin release, this hormone further intensifies contractions, leading to more oxytocin release. This cycle continues until the baby is delivered.
What organ contains target cells for oxytocin?
Oxytocin is released by posterior pitutory.It is produced by hypothalamus.
Is Oxytocin release a positive or negative feedback control mechanism?
Oxytocin release is a positive feedback control mechanism. This means that an initial stimulus triggers the release of oxytocin, which then promotes further release of oxytocin, amplifying the response until a specific outcome is achieved, such as uterine contractions during childbirth.
Is oxytocin an anterior pituitary hormone?
Oxytocin is made in the posterior pituitary. Oxytocin prompts the let-down reflex, and stimulates contraction of the uterus during childbirth.
What is the hormone that induces labor contractions?
It is induced by progestorone.It hellps baby to come out

What are the function of oxytocin?
The major functions of oxytocin have to do with smooth muscle contraction.
Is oxytocin a protein?
Yes, oxytocin is a protein hormone produced in the brain.
How is the level of oxytocin controlled by a positive-feedback mechanism?
Oxytocin release is controlled by a positive-feedback mechanism during childbirth. When contractions of the uterus stimulate oxytocin release, this hormone further intensifies contractions, leading to more oxytocin release. This cycle continues until the baby is delivered.
What is the oxytocin target?
Oxytocin ejects milk from mamary glads.Muscles of uterus are contracted.
What hormones is regulated by a neuroendocrine reflex oxytocin cortisol antidiuretic hormone?
oxytocin
What takes oxytocin out of your system?
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and is removed by enzymatic cleavage in the plasma.
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.
What is another name for oxytocin?
Really no other names except maybe oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide
What organ causes uterine contractions?
Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract. Oxytocin is released by the posterior pituitary gland.
What stimulates the smooth muscle of the uterus?
Stimulation of the cervix is what triggers labor through a hormone called oxytocin.
