Oxytocin Acetate – 8mg
$110.00
Oxytocin is a mammalian neuropeptide and peptide hormone, primarily synthesized in the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus and then stored and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It is widely recognized for its pivotal roles in various physiological and behavioral processes, particularly those related to reproduction, social bonding, and stress modulation. Oxytocin-Acetate is a synthetic form of this endogenous hormone, typically supplied as a salt for enhanced stability and ease of formulation in research applications.
