[QUOTE="rockaction, post: 55788850, member: 265764"] Fun fact about oxytocin: it is a powerful inducer of uterine contractions, but it does not have an appreciable rise in levels prior to labor or during labor. Weirdness, eh? Apparently its receptor is upregulated, but if that's the main reason why its action is increased is unclear. Crazy! Also, more hormone fun-facts: the hormone calcitonin has no known function in humans, though there is a set of cells in the thyroid that are capable of making it. The only times you really ever see calcitonin levels rise is when there is a tumor of these cells. Odd. Other animals use calcitonin, but we don't. (Intelligently designed hormone, amirite?) [/QUOTE]
