Stool metabolite analysis suggests changes in stress-related and mood-related chemicals in autism

Updated

Abstract

Gut-brain axis dysregulation is implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

  • Metabolic changes linked to the microbiome may play a role in ASD.
  • The relationship between gut-derived neuroactive metabolites and ASD is not fully understood.
  • Further investigation is needed to clarify the contributions of these metabolites to ASD symptoms.
