Ontogenic Measurement of Plasma Oxytocin in Typically Developing Boys Using Extracted and Unextracted EIA Methods
Measuring basal levels of plasma oxytocin in individuals with typical development across
childhood and adolescence using both extracted and unextracted EIA methods.
childhood and adolescence using both extracted and unextracted EIA methods.
Measuring basal levels of plasma oxytocin in individuals with typical development across
childhood and adolescence using both extracted and unextracted EIA methods. This study is
necessary since there is great variability in reported plasma oxytocin in typically
developing children from other studies as well as up to 1000 fold variability in such levels
using different assay procedures. Further existing studies have not clearly described
variation in levels with age. all samples will be taken in the afternoon.
