Children and teens with ADHD and autism have unique gut bacteria patterns in common
Updated
Abstract
compositions in children with ADHD and ASD are highly similar and differ from non-related controls.
- Children and adolescents with ADHD and ASD show altered gut microbiota compared to non-affected children.
- Both alpha- and beta-diversity metrics of gut microbiota are similar in ADHD and ASD cases.
- A subset of ADHD and ASD cases has increased levels of (LBP).
- Increased LBP levels are positively correlated with interleukin (IL)-8, 12, and 13 concentrations.
- These findings suggest a possible disruption of the intestinal barrier and immune dysregulation in affected children.
