Are There Epigenetic Oxytocin-Mediated Effects on the Mother and Infant during Physiological Childbirth?

14 Dec 2020

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Studies have shown that long-term positive behavioural and physiological changes are induced in connection with vaginal, physiological birth, and skin-to-skin contact after birth in mothers and babies. Some of these effects are consistent with the effect profile of oxytocin. This scoping review explores whether epigenetic changes of the oxytocin gene and of the oxytocin receptor gene (OTR) are...
