Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term effects of early suckling and touch of the nipple on maternal behaviour.
Ann-Marie Widström,V. Wahlberg,A.-S. Matthiesen,P. Eneroth,Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg,S. Werner,Jan Winberg +6 more
TL;DR: The infant's early touch of the mother's areola and nipple seemed to have positively influenced the mother/infant relationship during the first four days after birth, and was associated with lower maternal gastrin levels which suggests that maternal neuroendocrine functions were also influenced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonnutritive sucking in tube-fed preterm infants: effects on gastric motility and gastric contents of somatostatin.
TL;DR: The results indicate that somatostatin and gastrin are released into the gastric lumen in preterm infants and that sucking of a pacifier, in connection with bolus feeding, stimulates the Gastric motor functions and facilitates the digestion process, probably via activation of vagal mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast feeding-induced effects on plasma gastrin and somatostatin levels and their correlation with milk yield in lactating females.
TL;DR: The mechanism by which suckling influences circulating gastrin and somatostatin levels is unknown, but it is suggested that suckling leads to a reflex activation of the vagal nerves, which influence the release of these hormones from the stomach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suckling in lactating women stimulates the secretion of insulin and prolactin without concomitant effects on gastrin, growth hormone, calcitonin, vasopressin or catecholamines.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the insulin release in response to suckling participates in the stimulation of milk production, either secondary to a reflexly induced activation of the vagal nerves or to the increased circulating levels of prolactin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunoreactive calcitonin in maternal milk and serum in relation to prolactin and neurotensin
TL;DR: Maternal milk four days post partum contained immunoreactive calcitonin in concentrations which were 22-89 times higher than those noted in concomitantly sampled maternal sera.
