Oxytocin and HPA stress axis reactivity in postpartum women.
BACKGROUND Lactation is thought to buffer stress reactivity via oxytocin (OT). Dysregulation of the HPA axis has been reported in women with postpartum depression (PPD). The co-occurrence of PPD and lactation failure suggests that abnormalities in OT signaling may play a role in PPD. We hypothesized that abnormal OT signaling is implicated in dysregulated HPA axis reactivity among postpartum wo...
متن کامل[Depression and anxiety symptom severity in a group of children with epilepsy and related factors].
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the anxiety and depression symptom severity in a group of epileptic children and compare the results to healthy controls. Additionally, the frequency of psychiatric disorders in epileptic children was also assessed. METHOD The study compared 30 children, ranging in age from 8 to 16 years with epileptic disorder who attended a children's neurology ...
متن کاملThe BDNF Val66Met polymorphism affects HPA-axis reactivity to acute stress.
BACKGROUND Growing evidence suggests that individual differences in HPA-axis reactivity to psychosocial stress are partly due to heritable influences. However, knowledge about the role of specific genetic variants remains very limited to date. Since brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) not only exhibits neurotrophic actions but is also involved in the regulation of hypothalamic neuropeptide...
متن کاملAcute concussion symptom severity and delayed symptom resolution.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Up to 30% of children who have concussion initially evaluated in the emergency department (ED) display delayed symptom resolution (DSR). Greater initial symptom severity may be an easily quantifiable predictor of DSR. We hypothesized that greater symptom severity immediately after injury increases the risk for DSR. METHODS We conducted a prospective longitudinal coho...
متن کاملThe role of childhood abuse in HPA-axis reactivity in Social Anxiety Disorder: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Studies on depression have found that childhood abuse (CA) is associated with a persistent sensitization of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis to stress in adulthood. So far, it is unknown whether this HPA-axis sensitization is specific to depression, or whether this is a more general outcome associated with CA in patients with mood and anxiety disorders. The aim of this s...
