Chemical and molecular mechanisms of antioxidants: experimental approaches and model systems.

TL;DR: Inhibition of free radical generating enzymes is inhibition of internal antioxidant enzymes and prevention of lipid peroxidation is prevention of DNA damage and protein modification.

Mitochondrial dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Evidence supports the notion that mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with autism spectrum disorders, and suggests children with ASD have a spectrum of mitochondrial dysfunction of differing severity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neurobiology of autism

TL;DR: The molecular pathways altered in autism are linked to the neurodevelopmental and clinical changes that characterize the disease, and evidence implicating oxidative stress, neuroglial activation and neuroimmunity is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuropathology of autism: defects of neurogenesis and neuronal migration, and dysplastic changes

TL;DR: Deterioration in the patterns of focal qualitative developmental defects in the brains of autistic subjects reflects multiregional dysregulation of neurogenesis, neuronal migration and maturation in autism, which may contribute to the heterogeneity of the clinical phenotype.

The Neurobiological Context of Autism

TL;DR: Considerations suggest that a non-deterministic conceptual framework is highly appropriate for autism research, as well as the role of environmental factors, which are still poorly characterized.

Phospholipid Spectrum Disorder in Psychiatry

TL;DR: For instance, a National Institute of Health workshop in Washington DC in 1998, organised by Joe as discussed by the authors, considered neurobiological research in psychiatry to be unhelpfully skewed towards neurotransmitter receptors and away from the lipid characteristics of the membrane environment of those receptors.

Genetic investigation of quantitative traits related to autism: use of multivariate polygenic models with ascertainment adjustment.

TL;DR: Evidence for a genetic basis of several quantitative traits that are related to autism is provided and it is suggested that they may be most promising for future gene mapping and for extending pedigrees by phenotyping additional relatives.
