discover magazine article

[Guest guest]

HI guys,

Here is a article that I wanted to forward to the group. It is a Discover

Article from March 2007. Among many things it talks about the gut connection

with autism. Thought others should read this. The information is slowly

getting out there!

Antoinette,

Thank you for posting this article! I had meant to post in March but

just got too busy...

This article is also very intersting because it discusses white brain

injury and autism.

White brain injury is caused by LPS, a toxin produced by gram negative

bacteria...Another good reason to do SCD since we are starving the

bacterias in our children.

Below my email is a research study showing that LPS causes problems in

white matter inside the brain. I have lots of other articles showing

that LPS causes white brain damage. Just ask and I will post the other

research studies.

Long-term changes in blood-brain barrier permeability and white

Epidemiological evidence in human fetuses links inflammation

during development with white matter damage. Breakdown of the

blood-brain barrier has been proposed as a possible mechanism. This

was investigated in the present study by inducing a prolonged

inflammatory response in newborn rats, with intraperitoneal injections

of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 0.2 mg/kg) given at postnatal (P) day 0,

P2, P4, P6 and P8. An acute phase response was present over the whole

period of injections. Changes in blood-brain barrier permeability were

determined for small (sucrose and inulin) and large (protein)

molecules. During and immediately after the inflammatory response,

plasma proteins were detected in the brain only within white matter

tracts, indicating an increased permeability of the blood-brain

barrier to protein during this period. The alteration in permeability

to protein was transient. In contrast, the permeability of the

blood-brain barrier to 14C-sucrose and 14C-inulin was significantly

higher in adult animals that had received serial LPS injections during

development. Adult animals receiving a single 1 mg/kg LPS injection at

P0 showed no alteration in blood-brain barrier permeability to either

small or larger molecules. A significant decrease in the volume of

CNPase immunoreactive presumptive white matter tracts occurred in the

external capsule and corpus callosum at P9. These results demonstrate

that a prolonged systemic inflammatory response in the early postnatal

period in rats causes size selective increases in blood-brain barrier

permeability at different stages of brain development and results in

changes in white matter volume.
