Mitochondrial health
The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and autism is an area of active research. Mitochondria are the cellular powerhouses that generate energy and are involved in many cellular processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction refers to a reduction in the normal functioning of mitochondria, which can lead to a range of health problems.
Studies have suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the development and manifestation of autism. Some individuals with autism have been found to have genetic mutations or other alterations in the mitochondrial DNA that lead to impaired energy production.
There is more and more evidence that abnormal function of the mitochondria system causes autism along with other diseases associated with low energy levels. Therefore, it’s important to maintain the proper function of these organelles in our bodies so we can stay healthy and feel good mentally and physically
The Association of Social and Cognitive Impairment With Biomarkers in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals in different ways. However, many individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibit social and cognitive impairments. Recent research has been focusing on the association between these...
Mitochondrial Dysfunction: The Role of Nutritional Supplementation
It is thought that nutritional supplementation could be an effective way to address mitochondrial dysfunction. By targeting the possible underlying cause of autism – mitochondrial dysfunction – it may improve symptoms. In this blog post, we will explore the role of...
The Relationship Between Autism and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Recent studies have revealed a possible connection between autism and mitochondrial dysfunction. A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by D.A. Rossignol and R.E. Frye suggest that there is evidence of an association between autism spectrum disorders and...
Mitochondrial disorders
While the exact causes of autism are still unknown, researchers have recently uncovered a mysterious link between autism and mitochondrial disorders. Mitochondrial disorders are caused by mutations in the mitochondria, which are the parts of our cells that produce...
Omega 3 fatty acid
Omega-3 fatty acids belong to the group of polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) are best known. Omega-3 has many properties that help maintain our health, and are an essential...
