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.

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.

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.

[Brain catecholamines, mental diseases, aging and senile dementia: biochemical and pharmacological aspects].

TL;DR: Since the CA and particularly the dopamine deficiency seems to be a common denominator in depression and in senile mental deterioration, it is suggested that the dopaminergic drugs may serve as useful therapeutic means and important tools for testing the validity of the above hypotheses.
