TL;DR: There is need paradigm change in the medical model for investigate these factors in patients because currently this is not being done.

Purine metabolism and oxidative stress in children with autistic spectrum disorders

TL;DR: Patients with ASD have impaired purine metabolism and increased oxidative stress which was supported by low levels of ADA and SOD, and high level of MDA, and further biochemical or genetic studies are required to explore the nature of autism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging Clues and Altered Metabolic Findings in Autism: Breakthroughs andProspects from Omics Studies

TL;DR: The underpinnings of clinical challenges posed by ASD are delineated, like clinical heterogeneity of patient presentation, unresolved ASD genomic map and deficient drug therapy, and the emerging pathogenic, etiologic, and diagnostic clues of diverse origins, as availed by advances in Omics technologies.

Assessment of Metabolic Parameters For Autism Spectrum Disorders

TL;DR: The guidelines in this article have been developed to assist the clinician in the consideration of different factors in deciding upon the appropriate evaluation scheme for autistic symptoms.

Role of free radicals and catalytic metal ions in human disease: an overview.

TL;DR: The chapter discusses the metabolism of transition metals, such as iron and copper, and the chelation therapy that is an approach to site-specific antioxidant protection.

Nitric oxide: a cytotoxic activated macrophage effector molecule.

TL;DR: The results suggest that nitric oxide is the precursor of nitrite/nitrate synthesized by cytotoxic activated macrophages and, via formation of iron-nitric oxide complexes and subsequent degradation of Iron-sulfur prosthetic groups, an effector molecule.

The mitochondrial death/life regulator in apoptosis and necrosis

TL;DR: The acquisition of the biochemical and ultrastructural features of apoptosis critically relies on the liberation of apoptogenic proteases or protease activators from mitochondria.

Neuroglial activation and neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with autism

TL;DR: It is indicated that innate neuroimmune reactions play a pathogenic role in an undefined proportion of autistic patients, suggesting that future therapies might involve modifying neuroglial responses in the brain.

Biological effects of the superoxide radical.

TL;DR: Can the superoxide radical exert deleterious effects independent of participating with H2O2 in the production of the hydroxyl radical?
