What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
Researchers studied Oxytocin in the context of low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension in this controlled clinical trial publication.
Thus, the relationship of OT responsivity to BP in 14 breast- and 11 bottle-feeding mothers of infants was examined.
Who Took Part
By PubMed's age tags, the people studied were infants and adults, women only.
How the Study Was Run
Laboratory BP was assessed during baseline, speech preparation, active speech, and recovery on 2 days, 1 in which baseline and speech were separated by 10 min of baby holding and the other by no baby contact.
What Was Measured
PubMed files the paper under topics including Blood Pressure, Bottle Feeding, Breast Feeding, Linear Models, Oxytocin and Stress, Psychological.
What This Means in Plain Language
This is a controlled clinical trial of Oxytocin in people with low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension.
The publication is from 2000 (Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association), a journal based in United States.
