| Summary: | Oxytocin is a peptide hormone consisting of nine amino acids that is synthesized in the hypothalamus and secreted from the posterior pituitary gland. In recent years, it has been clarifed that oxytocin is secreted and functions during affection, building bond, and positive emotions. Therefore, there is a high demand for oxytocin measurement not only in research, but also in the service industry, such as medical institutions and elderly care facilities, and the manufacturing industry, including food, and its concentration and fluctuations are expected to be evaluated. Accurate oxytocin measurement systems have been developed so far, but they have not yet been established worldwide, and the standard level of oxytocin has not been determined. We have established a new accurate oxytocin measurement ELISA system that makes it possible to quantify various samples. Here, we introduce the established oxytocin ELISA and report the scientific evaluation of the positive emotions obtained when using Oshibori. |
