Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] sexual abuse and labour
No, synthetic oxytocin does not cross the blood-brain barrier, or at least very little of it. Read Sarah Buckleys info.

Subject: [ozmidwifery] syntocinon crossing into the brain?

Can someone help me with a question about this? There was a study done on nasal inhalation of syntocinon acting a little like the real deal oxytocin and inducing a trusting emotional state in the sniffer.
 
Does syntocinon cross into the brain? Obviously oxytocin originates there and affects the brain but can IV syntocinon for augmentation/induction of labour have a similar effect?
 
I hope a pro can make sense of this query!
 
TIA,
