Prenatal maternal diet is a critical factor in offspring neurodevelopment. Emerging evidence suggests that prenatal may also play role the etiology autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review summarizes studies published English examined nutrients or association with ASD from PubMed as of July 2020. Thiry-six nine countries were included this systematic review; these focused on multivitamin (n = 5), vitamin 3), folic acid (FA; n 14), Vitamin D 11), polyunsaturated fatty fish/supplement intake 7), iron B12 1), calcium magnesium and broad dietary habits 3). Overall, higher moderate prenatal/multivitamin, FA, was associated reductions odds ASD, though results have not been uniform there need to clarify differences findings based biomarkers versus reported intake. Evidence inconclusive insufficient for other nutrients. Differences timing measurement factors, well potential residual confounding, contribute existing discrepancies. Key areas future research better understand include address windows, examine combined effect multiple nutrients, consider interactions genetic environmental factors.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a type of neurodevelopmental that has been diagnosed in an increasing number children around the world. Existing data suggest early diagnosis and intervention can improve ASD outcomes. However, causes remain complex unclear, there are currently no clinical biomarkers for autism disorder. More mechanisms have found with development advanced technology such as mass spectrometry. Many recent studies link between elevated oxidative stress, which may play role its development. caused by stress several ways, including protein post-translational changes (e.g., carbonylation), abnormal metabolism lipid peroxidation), toxic buildup [e.g., reactive oxygen species (ROS)]. To detect ASD, various developed employed. This article summarizes about stress. Potential identified this study could be used evaluation intervention, well to inform target pharmacological or nutritional treatment interventions.

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element with unique functions in the body; it acts as a cofactor for many enzymes involved energy metabolism, endogenous antioxidant enzyme systems, neurotransmitter production, and regulation of reproductive hormones. However, overexposure to Mn toxic, particularly central nervous system (CNS) due causing progressive destruction nerve cells. Exposure manganese widespread occurs by inhalation, ingestion, or dermal contact. Associations have been observed between accumulation neurodegenerative diseases such manganism, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Huntington's amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

On the basis reviewing ASD, this review systematically summarized current status progress pathogenesis, diagnostic markers, interventions ASD. We provided an overview molecular mechanisms identified by multi‐omics studies convergent mechanism in different genetic backgrounds. comorbidities, associated with important physiological metabolic abnormalities (i.e., inflammation, immunity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction), gut microbial were reviewed. non‐targeted omics targeting markers also Moreover, we methods behavioral educational interventions, intervention related to technological devices, on medical potential drug targets.

Abstract Current treatment approaches for Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) primarily focus on symptom management rather than addressing underlying dysfunctions. The ketogenic diet (KD), a high-fat, low-carbohydrate inducing nutritional ketosis, has shown promise in treating epilepsy and may offer therapeutic benefits ASD by modulating metabolic neuroprotective pathways. This review examined the potential impact of KD mechanisms ASD. While evidence from human studies is limited, animal research large overlap modulated dysfunctions As such, targeting multiple disrupted pathways at once, presents multifaceted approach However, more needed effectiveness modulation Additionally, precision medicine could help identify individuals who would benefit most intervention, potentially extending its use to other psychiatric conditions with similar patterns. Consequently, interventions might show induce drastic paradigm shift understanding
