Oxytocin treatment at birth accelerates an epigenetic shift in the oxytocin receptor gene in the maternal brain

19 Jul 2025

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: To date, nearly one in three births in the United States occurs after a labor induced with synthetic oxytocin. Despite how common this intervention is, little is known about its long-term consequences for maternal health. Existing work has identified a link between labor induction with synthetic oxytocin and increased risk for postpartum depression. For some women, the link between labor induction and...
