Oxy-Solution is a peptide hormone made up of nine amino acids, naturally produced in the hypothalamus and secreted into the blood by the posterior pituitary gland. It is studied in the laboratory for its effects on social behavior, emotional bonding, smooth muscle contraction, and reproductive processes.

What is Oxy-Solution?
Oxy-Solution is a neuropeptide and hormone produced in the hypothalamus that is naturally released into the bloodstream by the posterior pituitary gland. Its primary biological function is associated with childbirth and lactation, but it also has a significant impact on emotional and social interactions. In experimental settings, its role in regulating trust, empathy, social learning, and interpersonal behavior is being investigated.
How does Oxy-Solution work?
Oxy-Solution binds to specific oxytocin receptors (OXTR) that are present in the uterus, brain, mammary glands and other tissues. Upon activation of the receptors, it triggers a series of intracellular signaling pathways that lead to smooth muscle contraction or modulation of behavioral responses. In the brain, it affects the limbic system, particularly the amygdala and hippocampus, leading to increased social sensitivity and emotional perception.
Effects studied
- Induction of labor through stimulation of uterine contractions.
- Supports lactation by releasing milk from the mammary glands.
- Modulation of behaviors associated with trust, empathy, and social bonds.
- Study of Oxy-Solution in relation to autism and behavioral disorders.
- Research into its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects.
