Product Overview
Oxytocin Description1-6
Oxytocin is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. A synthetic form of oxytocin is available and exhibits the same activity as the naturally occurring hormone. Oxytocin promotes contraction of uterine smooth muscle during labor and stimulates the alveolar ducts of the breast to release milk following its production. Due to its effects on uterine activity, oxytocin has been used to initiate labor, assist with placental delivery, and manage postpartum hemorrhage. Oxytocin has also been linked to social bonding, mood modulation, and sexual function.
Vardenafil Description7-9
Vardenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor with an average terminal half-life ranging from four to six hours. It is a potent and highly selective oral PDE5 inhibitor that is generally well tolerated. Vardenafil is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and is intended for use on an as-needed basis for this condition.
Oxytocin1-6
Oxytocin causes G-protein coupled receptors to increase intracellular calcium which leads to uterine contraction. The stimulation of uterine contractions causes more oxytocin to be released. As more oxytocin is released it positively influences even more release of oxytocin. This release of oxytocin is called positive feedback which is much different than how many hormones work in the endocrine system. Oxytocin administered exogenously causes the same response as endogenously produced oxytocin. Not only does oxytocin stimulate uterine contractions, but it also causes contractions of myoepithelial cells in the alveolar ducts found in female breast tissue. These contractions force milk from these ducts into even larger sinuses, which subsequently enables milk expulsion. When a baby attempts to latch onto the mother’s breast it causes oxytocin secretion into the blood in the same manner as vaginal delivery; instead of uterine contractions, milk is ejected from the breast. Similar to the actions of oxytocin in the uterus to stimulate contractions during delivery, milk-ejection from breast tissue occurs due to positive feedback. In the brain, it is proposed that oxytocin stimulates social and sexual function by its activity in many areas of the brain including its activity on neurotransmitters.
Vardenafil7-9
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) has many isoforms and is an enzyme that has many functions in the body including degrading the effect of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). PDE5 is an enzyme that is found in many parts of the body including in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum, prostate, bladder, the vascular and visceral smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, urethra, platelets, kidney, lung, cerebellum, heart, liver, testis, seminal vesicle, and pancreas. Vardenafil is a selective inhibitor of PDE5, the enzyme responsible for the degradation of cGMP. Vardenafil’s activity on PDE5 has been shown to be approximately 10 fold to 25 fold more than sildenafil. Increased cGMP leads to smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum which can help in maintaining an erection.
