Okay, this is for a school project that I'm doing, and it's due tomorrow, so make this top priority to answer! I'm basically doing artwork for my project, but the paper is going to be folded in half, and I need to know the measurements stat! Follow.
Oxytocin injection is a sterile aqueous solution of highly purified oxytocic principle derived by synthesis or obtained from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland of healthy domestic animals used for food by humans. Oxytocin injection contains 20 USP Units of oxytocin and less than 0.4 units of presser activity per mL. Each mL of sterile solution also contains 0.9% w/v sodium chloride, 0.5% w/v chlorobutanol (as a preservative), with water for injection q.s. and pH adjusted to 3.0 to 5.0 with acetic acid.
1 Oxytocin has a role in social behaviors in many species, so it likely also does in humans. 2  In a 2003 study, both humans and dog oxytocin levels in the blood rose after five to 24 minutes of a petting session. Uterine contraction: Important for cervical dilation before birth, oxytocin causes contractions during the second and third stages of labor. 2  Oxytocin release during breastfeeding causes mild but often painful contractions during the first few weeks of lactation.
