OBJECTIVE: The aim of the current study is to assess plasma levels of oxytocin and
vasopressin in autistic children. Also, to correlate plasma levels of those neuropeptides to …

Oxytocin plays an important role in social-affiliative behaviors. It has been proposed that
exposure to high levels of exogenous oxytocin at birth, via pitocin induction of delivery, might …

PLASMATIC LEVELS OF NEUROPEPTIDES, INCLUDING OXYTOCIN, IN CHILDREN WITH
AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER, CORRELATE WITH THE DISORDER SEVERITY - PMC …

Objectives: To test the possible association between oxytocin and melatonin levels with the
severity of social and cognitive dysfunctions, and to study the correlation between these …

The oxytocin system may be different in autistic people, which could explain some of the
deficits in social behavior and cognition associated with autism spectrum disorder. However …

Background Autism is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder, thought to be caused by a
combination of genetic heritability and environmental risk factors. Some autistic-like traits …

Objective Oxytocin (OT) has been implicated to play an important role in autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) etiology. We aimed to find out the differences in plasma OT levels between …

BACKGROUND:: Social impairments are central to the syndrome of autism. The
neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has been implicated in the regulation of social behavior in …

Oxytocin (OT) circuitry plays a major role in the mediation of prosocial behavior. Individuals
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterized by impairments in social interaction …

Background: Oxytocin (OT) is synthesized as a prohormone that is sequentially processed to
peptides. These peptides are the bioactive amidated form (OT) and the C-terminal extended …
