Dakle ono sto nas sve zanima: umjetni oksitocin se dobiva iz ekstrakta zlijezde hipofize razlicitih sisavaca, te se kombinira sa octenom kiselinom radi prilagodjavanja pH i 5% kloretonom koji se koristi kao konzervans (ne zvuci puno bolje od svinjske spreme).
Zanimljivo: 1978. FDA povukla je svoje odobrenje za koristenje umjetnog oksitocina za neobaveznu indukciju poroda!!! Lijek nikada nije bio odobren za ubrzavanje poroda. :shock:

Pitocin is a synthetic oxytocin (the natural hormone that induces labor) made from pituitary extracts from various mammals, combined with acetic acid for pH adjustment and .5 percent chloretone, which acts as a preservative. Artificial oxytocin, or Pitocin, was successfully synthesized in 1953, and two years later it was available to physicians for the inducing and augmenting of labor. In 1978, the FDA advisory committee removed its approval of Pitocin for the elective induction of labor. (The drug has never been approved by the FDA for the use of augmenting labor.)
