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.

Consequently, autistic kids are often running low in specific nutrients. Multivitamins  have shown to improve sleep and digestive issues in autistic children. Beware that a multivitamin with iron can provoke digestive problems. Vitamin 6 and magnesium  supplements have been identified in improving autistic children's behavior. However, more research is required for these supplements. Omega-3 fats  might help autistic children with hyperactivity, for many of them are usually low in this fat. The Gluten-free and Casein-free Diet  is free of gluten and casein. Gluten is the chief protein in wheat and other grains like rye, kamut, triticale, spelt, and barely. Casein is the central protein in dairy products like yogurt, milk, ice cream, and cheese. This diet can help improve autistic children's be...
