So was doing some
research on stuff and came across this...
Neural oxytocinergic systems as genomic
targets for hormones and as modulators of hormone-dependent behaviors
ABSTRACT
At the molecular level,
estradiol turns on the gene for oxytocin in a subset of paraventricular hypothalamic neurons and
turns on the gene for the oxytocin receptor in other limbic and hypothalamic cell groups. As a result,
oxytocin deposition, whose signal is transduced both through G alpha (q/11) and Gi to stimulate
phosphatidylinositol turnover, facilitates electrical activity in certain hypothalamic neurons. Consequently,
affiliative behaviors including those closely associated with reproduction--mating behaviors and
parental behaviors--are promoted. One important aspect of this effect is the preservation of instinctive
behaviors associated with reproduction, in the face of disturbances due to mild stress.
So any thoughts on this? Seems like it would be an effective addition to those new
multi-phero mixes out there. Also did a search on Realm for Women but everybody is vauge on the issue. Anybody have
anything CONCRETE on this?
