Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is responsible for the stimulation of milk ejection from the breast during lactation. Vasopressin, on the other hand, is responsible for regulating water balance in the body, and can cause increased blood pressure and decreased urine output when present in high amounts. Induction of uterine contractions during childbirth and release of ACTH from the posterior pituitary are functions of oxytocin and not vasopressin. Overeating is not associated with vasopressin.
