Description:
Oxytocin can stimulate the myoepithelial cell around the mammary gland alveolus and gland vessel contracting, and promote milk ejection. Oxytocin can selectively stimulate uterus, and enhance contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus. The stimulation effect to uterus is different, because of the dosage and the body hormone level. Low dose Oxytocin can strengthen the uterus to contract in the pregnancy end period; and high dose Oxytocin can cause the uterus smooth muscle tetanic contraction, and has the blood vessel pressed to hemostasis.
Applications:
Oxytocin is used for stimulation of uterus contractions to facilitate parturition, induced abortion, postpartumhemorrhage, fetus membranes retains, and postpartum uterus meromorphosis.
