Potent peptide prompts urge to cuddle by Natalie Angier new York times its just the potion for a Bellicose. World. In some cases it works As an aphrodisiac inspiring males to seek. Females More ardently and females to. Invite their More passionately. The hormone which is present in. Hutnan s and other mammals helps stimulate the sensations of a. And Climax. And after copulation it acts to Foster a feeling of relaxed satisfaction. It makes now mothers More Likely to nurture their Young Aru now fathers happier to help out around the nest. Even among those who Are neither sox partners nor parents the compound can Spur an overwhelming urge to cuddle. The hormone is oxytocin a Small potent peptide secreted by the pea sized pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Oxytocin has Long been known As the chemical that works in women to stimulate uterine contractions during childbirth and to help the Mother s breasts begin ejecting milk for her Newborn. A but in a wealth of new studies a scientists Are learning that . Does far More than serve As a Mere muscle contractor. A they Are finding that oxytocin is Active in both sexes and that it helps orchestrate Many of life s More pleasurable social and sexual interactions a Between male and -., female Parent and offspring neighbor and neighbor. A. All in All seems to be nature s Way of ushering in Joy. Quot it is the c satisfaction Al hormone Quot said or. Jack d. Caldwell an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of school of Medicine in Chapel Hill Quot it is that. Mediates the Good feelings animals have in All sorts of have yet to figure out exactly How much of their animal research can be applied to people. They Are almost certain that oxytocin is a component of. Human sexuality and happiness but they a suspect that the hormonal pathway in humans is far too Complex to offer any immediate cures for age old problems like hostility and marital ennui _ but s o vibrant has the Field of oxytocin research become that the new York Academy of sciences has organized the. First conference on of . In animal and human behaviour to be held in Arlington va., in the Spring. ,. A a it a almost like a new hormone Quot said a or sue Carter a professor of zoology at _ the University of Maryland in College Park. Quot oxytocin is an old old hormone in terms. Of evolution but it s just become a topic of intense scientific investigation in the last. Few a Quot a. In studies of rats rabbits Field Micer Quot a a a sheep and other animals researchers have a discovered that acts on Many regions of the brain known to be involved in. Sexual and affectionate behaviour the studies strongly suggest that when the body has been primed by sex hormones like oestrogen and testosterone to get ready for reproduction oxytocin is the signal that makes the creature act on the message and scout out a partner. Fresh and surprising though the latest research May be oxytocin in fact was one of the first Neur peptides or brain hormones to be studied in detail. It was discovered in 1903 and its protein composition determined by 1950. Scientists Learned that it is a Small peptide made up of a Mere nine Annino acid building blocks and that it is generated in / a a the brain and passed on to the pituitary for a secretion into the. Bloodstream. But until recently studies of have been largely confined to its role in uterine contractions and milk production. The hormone was viewed in pragmatic clinical terms and for a number of years women in labor have been Given extra doses of synthetic oxytocin a known As. Pitock to Speed up the birth or to allow the Placenta to be released More readily. As Many As 40 percent of those who give birth in hospitals receive Pitock. A but routinely As has Beena used some scientists could not help. Not a hormone that makes a Ewe respond to the overtures of a ram also helps her Bond with her Lamb. The hormone oxytocin has newly discovered roles in influencing social and sexual relations Between mammals by acting on cells in the brain. Scientists have not yet fully delineated its role in people but they believe it plays a major role in human sexuality and happiness. Wondering whether the oxytocin Story might be More complicated than it seemed. For one Ihms they knew there were significant Levels of in men a Peculiar finding for what had been considered a childbirth hormone. For another they discovered closely. Related peptides in creatures As evolutionary ancient As primitive fish and such non mammalian species clearly do not need oxytocin for labor or nursing More important still new experimental tools developed in the last several years have allowed scientists to precisely Analyse the brain s receptors for oxytocin the a a proteins found on neural cells that clasp onto the Little peptide and permit the brain Quot Tores Pond. V by mapping the distribution of the receptors researchers have Learned that the Impact of oxytocin on the brain is wide ranging and they have begun to get a a notion of which regions Are particularly sensitive to the hormones signal.
