Oxytocin crystals, light micrograph

Oxytocin. Polarised light micrograph of crystals of the female hormone oxytocin. In women this hormone is secreted naturally by the pituitary gland. It is also manufactured synthetically in the laboratory for use as a drug. Oxytocin causes contractions of the uterus during labour, and it also stimulates the flow of milk in women who are breast-feeding. As a drug it may be used to induce childbirth, or to help to expel the placenta. Oxytocin may be given in the form of a nasal spray to help increase milk flow while breast-feeding. Magnification: x50

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of oxytocin crystals, captured under polarised light micrograph. Oxytocin, commonly known as the "love hormone" is a naturally secreted female hormone by the pituitary gland and can also be synthetically manufactured for medicinal purposes. In women, oxytocin plays a crucial role during childbirth and breastfeeding. It induces contractions of the uterus during labor, aiding in the delivery process. Additionally, it stimulates milk flow in lactating women, facilitating nourishment for their infants. The magnified image reveals an array of delicate crystals that represent this vital compound's molecular structure. The crystal formation highlights its chemical composition and emphasizes its significance in various biological processes within our bodies. Scientists have harnessed oxytocin's properties to develop drugs that replicate its effects. This synthetic version can be administered to induce childbirth or assist with placenta expulsion after delivery. Furthermore, it can be delivered via nasal spray to enhance milk production while breastfeeding. Alfred Pasieka's expertly captured photograph not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of these microscopic crystals but also provides valuable insight into the world of biochemistry and hormonal functions within our bodies.
