Fig. 3From: Comparing oxytocin and cortisol regulation in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, hydrocortisone challenge pilot study in children with autism and typical developmentCorrelations between plasma cortisol and oxytocin (OT) following administration of hydrocortisone (HCORT) in children with TD (blue) and ASD (red). As shown, there are opposing relationships between the groups. Within-group correlations in the ASD children revealed a negative correlation between OT and cortisol following HCORT administrationBack to article page
