Oxytocin is released during childbirth, breastfeeding, orgasm, and with more casual social interactions such as hugging, snuggling, or looking at another person.
Since oxytocin is released when you snuggle with a partner, have sex, or bond socially, it was dubbed “the love drug.” It cannot make you fall in love, but it triggers feelings of love and protection.
Oxytocin does not make you “high” in the sense that taking some psychotropic drugs does. When you feel a connection with someone or are attracted to them, your brain releases dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. These brain chemicals make you feel happy, content, and feel a surge of positive emotion — a different kind of “high.”
With ejaculation, there is a burst of oxytocin from the male pituitary gland. Oxytocin stimulates contractions throughout the male reproductive tract, making it easier for sperm to travel and be released.
Oxytocin is synthesized in the testes, epididymis, and prostate, and there are oxytocin receptors throughout the male reproductive tract.
Oxytocin also plays a role in modulating testosterone levels by stimulating the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
When oxytocin levels in 45 women were compared to oxytocin levels in 45 men, women had significantly more oxytocin.
It is tempting to cite increased interactions among women as a cause of increased oxytocin levels. However, it is more likely that oxytocin acts differently in women and men.
Several research studies have demonstrated oxytocin’s ability to modulate appetite and reduce cravings.
Oxytocin can cause weight loss by:
Oxytocin decreases food and calorie consumption by reducing the appeal of foods that are high in fat and calories.
Oxytocin doesn’t make you sleepy, but it may reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Oxytocin decreases cortisol release and, therefore, anxiety, especially when exposed to social stressors.
In addition to prosocial effects such as increasing trust, oxytocin is also involved in jealousy, gloating, and out-group discrimination. There is also evidence that oxytocin produced outside the hypothalamus may increase anxiety. This leads researchers to speculate that depending on the pathway, oxytocin may mediate attention and motivational responses in both positive and negative social contexts. Essentially, depending on the circumstances, oxytocin may increase or decrease social anxiety.
Oxytocin may also be involved in the pathophysiology of autism, schizophrenia, and depression.
No, oxytocin is destroyed by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract and has no effect if taken orally.
Instead, oxytocin is delivered via a nasal spray or an ODT so it can be absorbed across the mucosa of the nose or mouth.
Oxytocin delivered by nasal spray is active for at least two hours and 15 minutes, and may be active as long as four hours.
