Endogenous oxytocin levels in children with autism: Associations with cortisol levels and oxytocin receptor gene methylation

2022-12-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Alterations in the brain’s oxytocinergic system have been suggested to play an important role in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but insights from pediatric populations are sparse. <h4>Methods</h4> We examined salivary oxytocin in school-aged children with (n=80) and without (n=40) ASD (boys/girls 4/1), as well as characterizations of DNA methylation (DNAm) of the oxytoci...
