Brain-based health visiting: How neuroscience is shaping practice [PDF]

, 2014
Health visitors have always been faced with change and challenge to their role, partly as a result of health visiting being underpinned by a set of 'soft' skills that are difficult to articulate.

Chronic oxytocin administration as a treatment against impaired leptin signaling or leptin resistance in obesity

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015
This review summarizes the existing literature on the effects of oxytocin administration in the treatment of obesity in different animal models and in humans, focusing on the central control of food intake, the oxytocin effects on adipose tissue and the ...

Does induction or augmentation of labor increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women with anemia? A multicenter prospective cohort study in India

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 299-309, April 2025.
Abstract Objective To investigate whether induction/augmentation of labor in pregnant women with anemia increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and whether this risk varied by indications for labor induction/augmentation and by anemia severity in pregnancy.

Oxytocin at physiological concentrations evokes adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from corticotrophs by increasing intracellular free calcium mobilized mainly from intracellular stores. Oxytocin displays synergistic or additive effects on ACTH-releasing factor or arginine vasopressin-induced ACTH secretion, respectively [PDF]

, 1992
The potency of oxytocin (OT) in evoking ACTH secretion by isolated, superfused rat adenohypophyseal corticotrophs and its enhancement by CRF and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were analyzed.

Gene-environment interaction between perinatal oxytocin exposure and Pten mutation shapes epigenetic reprogramming of oxytocin signaling and behavior in mice

Neurobiology of Disease
Synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin) is the most commonly used pharmacologic agent for induction and augmentation of labor. Beyond its uterotonic effects, oxytocin plays a critical role in neurodevelopment and social behavior. Dysregulated oxytocin signaling has

Predictors for intrapartum cesarean delivery after labor induction for suspected fetal growth restriction at term

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In term pregnancies with suspected fetal growth restriction (FGR) undergoing induction of labor (IOL), predictors for intrapartum cesarean delivery (CD) remain unclear. We aimed to determine predictors for intrapartum CD in this population. Methods This study included a retrospective cohort of singleton pregnancies undergoing IOL at ≥

Maternal infection in the context of actively managed prelabor rupture of membranes at term: An observational study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To assess maternal infection following prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) at term in a setting where active management is recommended, and to identify associated risk factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted including pregnant women admitted to a Portuguese tertiary care center where immediate induction of labor ...

Oxytocin alleviates liver fibrosis via hepatic macrophages

JHEP Reports
Background & Aims: Previous studies demonstrated oxytocin treatment effectiveness in reducing mortality and reversing liver fibrosis in mice. However, the underlying mechanism remains obscure, given the absence of oxytocin receptor expression in ...

The effects of acute exercise on plasma oxytocin [PDF]

, 2018
Oxytocin is a nine-amino acid peptide hormone and/or neuropeptide that has proposed mechanisms related to diminishing the effects of physical, psychological, and psychosocial stress. Exercise is often used in clinical trials to quantify stress because it

Oxytocin modulates the temporal dynamics of resting EEG networks. [PDF]

, 2019
Oxytocin is a key modulator of social interaction, but we possess little knowledge of its underlying effects on neuropsychological processes. We used a spatio-temporal EEG microstates analysis to reveal oxytocin's effects on the temporal dynamics of ...
