BRAND NEW: Am J Biochem & Biotech

[Guest guest]

This is hot off the press. Like today.

Notice that environmentally

induced mitochondrial

DNA damage is involved

This new investigation presents evidence to support a model where:

“The disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero

or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult

triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS)

production in the brain that

leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme

blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative stressors persist beyond

early development (with potential further exacerbations), producing ongoing

functional consequences.”

American Journal of Biochemistry

and Biotechnology 4 (2): 167-176, 2008
