2009- THE SEVERITY OF AUTISM IS ASSOCIATED WITH TOXIC METAL BODY BURDEN AND RED BLOOD CELL GLUTATHIONE LEVELS
This study investigates the possible relationship of the severity of autism to the body burden of toxic metals and RBC glutathione levels. It examines the correlation between the severity of autism (assessed by the ATEC, PDD-BI, SAS, and ADOS) and the urinary excretion of toxic metals, (both before and after taking DMSA), and further with…

2022- Pre/post-natal exposure to microplastic as a potential risk factor for autism spectrum disorder
In this study, the authors hypothesized that microplastic exposure may be a risk factor for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To test this hypothesis, they used mouse models to examine the accumulation of polyethylene (PE) in the brains of mice and assess the behavioral effects at different life stages. They found that exposure to PE lead…

2021- Effects of early-life penicillin exposure on the gut microbiome and frontal cortex and amygdala gene expression
The present study found that there were a large number of significantly differentially expressed genes in both the frontal cortex and amygdala of mice exposed in their early life to low-dose penicillin (LDP). There were also significant changes in gene expression in both the frontal cortex and amygdala in mice exposed to LDP. Additionally, there…
