Enclomiphene- Summary
- Oxytocin is a 9-amino acid neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus with diverse roles in social bonding, trust, stress reduction, and sexual function. Exogenous administration is used therapeutically to improve social cognition, reduce anxiety, and enhance intimacy.
- Enclomiphene is the trans-isomer of clomiphene citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that stimulates endogenous testosterone production by blocking estrogen negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary. Unlike TRT, it restores testosterone while preserving or increasing sperm production and testicular volume.
