BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -As oxytocin is associated with trust, sexual arousal and relationship building, it’s sometimes referred to as the “love hormone” or “cuddle chemical.” Oxytocin levels also increase when you’re hugging someone and when you’re experiencing an orgasm. Oxytocin is an essential hormone for childbirth and lactation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxytocin triggers feelings of love and protection, which naturally occurs when parents and children look into one another’s eyes or when they embrace. Other relationship-enhancing effects also include empathy, trust, and the processing of bonding cues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Attraction is mediated by hormones of stress and reward including dopamine, norepinephrine cortisol and the serotinergic system and has the nucleus accumbens the ventral tegmental area as key mediators.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxytocin and vasopressin are the hormones most closely associated with romantic love. They are produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland; and while men and women are both influenced by oxytocin and vasopressin, women are more sensitive to oxytocin and men are more sensitive to vasopressin.
