Compared to the general population, individuals with autism have been diagnosed with a dysregulation of the immune system with the possibility of serious effects on the overall health of these individuals. The role of the immune system, especially the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which also affect the function of certain brain structures and thus patient
Children with ASD often have trouble sleeping. Their causes can be different, one of the theories assumes disruption of circadian rhythms (so-called internal biological clocks). This theory is evidenced by the differences in the levels of melatonin – a hormone that is involved in the regulation of biorhythms depending on changes in light intensity during
Compared to the general healthy population, people with autism have a higher incidence of associated disorders that have serious implications for the individual’s overall condition and prognosis. Many people with autism spectrum disorders suffer from disorders of the digestive system. In ASD, they occur more frequently than in the general population. Studies report their presence
Research in recent years has enriched the knowledge about the intestinal microbiota and the gut-brain axis through which the microbiota can affect the brain. An increasing number of studies point to intestinal dysbiosis – a different microbial population – as one of the possible factors involved in the development of ASD. In the project we
