Effects of suckling on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responses to psychosocial stress in postpartum lactating women.
Markus Heinrichs,Markus Heinrichs,Gunther Meinlschmidt,Inga D. Neumann,Sabine Wagner,Clemens Kirschbaum,Ulrike Ehlert,Dirk H. Hellhammer +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that lactation in women, in contrast to that in rats, does not result in a general restraint of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to a psychosocial stressor, and suckling is suggested to exert a short-term suppression of the cortisol response to mental stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma oxytocin concentration during pregnancy is associated with development of postpartum depression.
TL;DR: This is the first study to show an association between prepartal plasma OXT concentration and postpartal symptoms of PPD in humans, and enhancing OXT release during pregnancy could serve as a potential target in prepartum PPD prevention, and help to minimize adverse effects of P PD on the mother–child relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic changes in DNA methylation of stress-associated genes ( OXTR , BDNF ) after acute psychosocial stress
Eva Unternaehrer,P. Luers,John Mill,Emma Dempster,Andrea H. Meyer,Simon Staehli,Simon Staehli,Roselind Lieb,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Gunther Meinlschmidt,Gunther Meinlschmidt +10 more
TL;DR: A dynamic regulation of DNA methylation in OXTR is suggested—which may in part reflect changes in blood cell composition—but not BDNF after acute psychosocial stress, suggesting new insights into the etiology of mental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity to intranasal oxytocin in adult men with early parental separation.
TL;DR: These preliminary results may suggest altered central sensitivity to the effects of OT after EPS, and the role of OT in mediating risk versus resilience to psychopathology after early social adversity is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of the association between somatoform disorders and anxiety and depressive disorders : an update
TL;DR: Clinical and population-based studies have found that the co-occurrence of some types of somatoform disorders and anxiety and depressive disorders is common, which may suggest either a causal relationship between these disorders or that they share some common etiological factors.
