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.
LH(Leutenizing Hormone) hormone induces the process of spermatogenesis.
What are the risk of adrenaline?
adrenaline gets released under certain circumstances such as fear or stress, but also physical activity. adrenaline makes the human body ready for action increasing cardiac activity and blood pressure as wel as changing the amount of free 'energy(glucose)' in the blood.
too much adrenaline or for a long period can cause damage to our blood vessel system because of the increased blood pressure. But the most fatal caused by over used cardiac muscles is a cardiac arrest.
Another psychological risk(read: addiction) is the fact that people (or so called adrenaline junkies) do mostly dangerous things to get an adrenaline rush just for enjoyment. they often push it further and further putting themselves in dangerous and sometimes live threathening situations.

What effect does Adderall have on cortisol levels?
Adderall usually raises cortisol levels. Most substances or experiences which trigger fight or flight type responses like stimulants will do this. ADHD and other illness that are treated by Adderall are thought to involve disruptions in the HPA axis. For most real ADHD sufferers this increase in cortisol is thought to cause improvement in symptoms and it is rare that someone without abnormal adrenal function experiences high cortisol (Cushing's) symptoms.
