Methylation & Autism
Evidence-based information
Introduction
Methylation and Autism
The methylation and autism connection is now obvious. Methylation is a biochemical process that takes place in every cell and tissue of our body continuously, millions of times per second. Methylation is a relatively basic operation from the point of view of the functioning of the body, thus it has a central role in the creation and transformation of a series of vital substances (e.g. ATP, creatine, carnitine, CoQ10, melatonin, serotonin, taurine, glutathione, etc.), in this way the physical and psychological in maintaining our health.
Among other things, methylation has a role in cell division, DNA and RNA synthesis, in the repair of our DNA, in the proper functioning of our immune system, including, for example, inflammatory processes, in the transformation of toxins and hormones, in the synthesis of neurotransmitters (e.g. norepinephrine, thus the stable psychological state in its design), and we could list more. In fact, proper methylation is the key to the functioning of all our cells and tissues, i.e. without it, nothing would work at all.
Methylation and Autism
Many autistic children have reduced methylation and antioxidant/detoxification capacity, as well as chronic oxidative stress. A targeted nutritional intervention designed to correct the metabolic imbalance can normalize their metabolic profile and improves autistic behavior.
