Impaired Amino Acid Transport at the Blood Brain Barrier is a Cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder

The article shows that the solute carrier transporter 7a5, a big neutral amino acid transporter located at the blood brain barrier, is in charge of maintaining normal levels of brain BCAAs. For example, in mice, elimination of Slc7a5 from the endothelial cells of the BBB leads to an uncommon brain amino acid profile, severe neurological abnormalities, and abnormal mRNA translation. In addition, the author identified many patients with autistic characteristics and motor delay carrying deleterious homozygous changes in the SLC7A5 gene. At last the author shows that BCAA intracerebroventricular administration repairs abnormal behaviors in older mutant mice. The data reveals a neurological syndrome defined by SLC7A5 mutations and uphold a vital role for the BCAA in human brain function.

Research Articles About GMOs and Pesticides Causing Autism

Autism is now affecting as many as 1 in 68 children born in the USA, according to CDC. While no one knows the reason for this soaring figure, one researcher in an article is pointing her finger at glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup. The claim sounds plausible, but where's the conclusive proof? No One Should Feel Forced To Live A Lifetime With Autism  Are You Satisfied with Only Treating Autistic Symptoms?

Sonic the Hedgehog Causes Autism

Because autistic children prefer staying inside most of the time and can only watch cartoons their parents allow them to enjoy, they are stuck watching Sonic the Hedgehog, as opposed to less wholesome cartoons. Autistic kids can easily understand the black-and-white morality that Sonic brings them. When older, these children still watch the same cartoons where all is apparent and predictable, for they have yet not conquered the basics of how to interact with other normal and same-age children.

Is Accutane Causing Autism?

According to WebMD, Accutane, or isotretinoin, is becoming better known in causing birth defects, which include facial, brain, and heart deformities, if women consume it during pregnancy. In a 2010 study published on BMJ online it was learned that among over 5,700 users of isotretinoin, the danger of suicide reached the highest point among these users who had ceased treatment for 6 months. But can accutane cause autism? There exists no solid, conclusive evidence to prove this.

Cocaine Cures Autism?

Researchers have found that addiction among autistic individuals is rare. A newer study in Sweden suggests people with autism of average or higher IQ seemed doubly more likely to get addicted to drugs or alcohol as their friends are. The danger is greater for those who have ADHD. In a study published in the journal Neuron, researchers from 3 US universities looked into the role that a certain brain protein, known as FMRP, acts in preparing the stage for developing addiction for cocaine. This same protein has played a role in the development of autism spectrum disorder. Alcohol and most drugs of abuse share one thing: they alter the chemical balance in a part of the brain where intense sensation is produced. Though researchers do not suggest a link between autism and cocaine addiction, they do indicate the two may stem from the actions of one protein, for FMRP is playing a role in cocaine addiction, if it's at normal levels in the brain; it plays a similar part in the develop...
