A Mathematical Model Relating Pitocin Use during Labor with Offspring Autism Development in terms of Oxytocin Receptor Desensitization in the Fetal Brain

<div>Buildup of the baseline concentration <i>C</i> of Pitocin in the maternal circulation from continuous Pitocin infusion. <i>Note.</i> The parameters of maternal weight, infusion rate, and half-life and the values of the Multiplier <i>M</i> and <i>k</i> which are determined by the half-life and infusion rate in a one-minute blood circulation cycle as indicated in Tables <a href="../tab1/">1</a> and <a href="../tab2/">2</a> in Section <a href="https://static.hindawi.com/articles/cmmm/volume-2019/8276715/figures/#sec2.2">2.2</a>.</div>
