How Does Oxytocin Work?

Oxytocin Increases Feelings of Bonding and Caring

Oxytocin is a small six-amino acid peptide that functions as a hormone and signaling molecule. It increases sodium permeability in uterine muscle tissue. It also works in the brain to increase feelings of bonding and caring. Oxytocin receptors are found in many body tissues, including the brain and spinal cord. However, most studies on oxytocin are on its effects on uterine tissue.

Oxytocin Decreases Cravings and Suppresses Hunger

Researchers are investigating the use of oxytocin nasal spray to regulate appetite and improve self-control. Research in animals shows the potential for oxytocin to decrease appetite, increase energy expenditure, and increase lipid breakdown. Clinical trials are underway to evaluate its potential to induce weight loss in humans. Oxytocin has the potential to be a drug “target for the treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders.”
