Oxytocin is a hormone secreted from the posterior pituitary gland. This hormone has been known to influence mammalian reproduction. It is involved in labor during childbirth where it promotes uterine contraction. Oxytocin is also having a role in the secretion of milk and plays an important role in milk ejection. Recent research suggests that this hormone may also have a role to play in orgasm. For this reason, this hormone has also been called the love hormone.
Some studies have indicated that this love hormone levels may be a useful index in determining the longevity of relationship between a man and a woman. Data indicates that when the relationship between a man and a woman remains strong, their oxytocin levels tend to be high. In contrast, in short-lived relationships, the oxytocin levels plummet.
