| Abstract | Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interactions and behavioral problems. Various genetic and environmental factors, including oxidative stress, are claimed to play a role in the etiopathogenesis of ASD. In this study, we aimed to examine the status of oxidative metabolism in ASD and the association between oxidative parameters and ASD symptom severity and subtype of ASD.Method: Thirty-three children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD (16 children diagnosed with autistic disorder, 13 children with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and 4 children with Asperger syndrome) according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) and 28 healthy controls, aged 2–17 years, were recruited in this study. Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were evaluated using Rel Assay Kit in children and adolescents. The oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated by dividing the TOS values by the TAS values. Autistic symptoms for these patients were scored on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS).Results: In patients with ASD, TAS was statistically significantly lower and OSI statistically significantly higher than in healthy controls. There were no statistically significant differences in TOS between the ASD and control groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the subtypes of ASD in terms of oxidative stress parameters. In addition, TAS, TOS, and OSI values did not differ statistically significantly between the patients' CARS groups, and were not associated with the CARS scores of the patients.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that oxidative imbalance is present in ASD and that oxidative stress may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of ASD. Therefore, it is suggested that antioxidants may have beneficial effects on ASD and may be a new therapeutic target in treating ASD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
