Time from pre‐labor rupture of membrane at term to delivery in grand multiparous women

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The effect of parity on labor progression following term pre‐labor rupture of membranes (PROM) has been described, but detailed patterns among grand multiparous women remain unclear. Traditional labor models show accelerated labor with increasing parity, yet few studies have specifically examined PROM latency distributions or ...

Newborn analgesia mediated by oxytocin during delivery

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011
The mechanisms controlling pain in newborns during delivery are poorly understood. We explored the hypothesis that oxytocin, an essential hormone for labor and a powerful neuromodulator, exerts analgesic actions on newborns during delivery.

Expression of vasopressin and its receptors in migraine-related regions in CNS and the trigeminal system: influence of sex

The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2022
Background Hypothalamus is a key region in migraine attacks. In addition, women are disproportionately affected by migraine. The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) system is an important key player in migraine pathophysiology. CGRP signaling could be

Characterization of oxytocin and vasopressin receptors in the Southern giant pouched rat and comparison to other rodents

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Vasopressin and oxytocin are well known and evolutionarily ancient modulators of social behavior. The distribution and relative densities of vasopressin and oxytocin receptors are known to modulate the sensitivity to these signaling molecules ...

Oxytocin functions as a spatiotemporal filter for excitatory synaptic inputs to VTA dopamine neurons

eLife, 2018
The experience of rewarding or aversive stimuli is encoded by distinct afferents to dopamine (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Several neuromodulatory systems including oxytocin regulate DA neuron excitability and synaptic transmission ...
