Physical exercise and intermittent administration of lactulose may improve autism symptoms through hydrogen production
نویسنده
چکیده
Autism is neuro-developmental disorder. Oxidative stress is enhanced in some children with autism. Hydrogen is a gas with anti-oxidative effects suggested for treating or prevention of some medical problems. It is hypothesized that lactulose or hydrogen water may provide hydrogen to reduce oxidative stress in autism.

Drinking hydrogen water and intermittent hydrogen gas exposure, but not lactulose or continuous hydrogen gas exposure, prevent 6-hydorxydopamine-induced Parkinson’s disease in rats
BACKGROUND Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide that can be catalyzed only by intestinal bacteria in humans and rodents, and a large amount of hydrogen is produced by bacterial catalysis of lactulose. We previously reported marked effects of ad libitum administration of hydrogen water on prevention of a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS End-alveolar breath hydrogen concentration...
متن کاملThe effect of 2 months of high-intensity interval training on serum levels of glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in male schizophrenic patients
Introduction: Oxide stress is important in the pathology of schizophrenia especially in the brain and it is higher than normal in these patients. In this study, we investigated the effect of intense intermittent exercise on serum glutathione and malondialdehyde in male schizophrenic patients. Materials and Methods: 28 male schizophrenic patients with a mean age of 39 years who were under th...

Background and Objective: Increased homocysteine levels resulting from renal failure and physical inactivity in hemodialysis patients can put them at risk for cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, exercise training may have a favorable effect on homocysteine levels and physical performance in these patients. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight we...
متن کاملBenefits of breath hydrogen testing after lactulose administration in analysing carbohydrate malabsorption.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Breath hydrogen testing after lactulose administration may yield findings of clinical value, but whether it should be a routine part of breath testing has not been evaluated. We examined the contribution of breath testing after lactulose administration to the conduct and interpretation of breath hydrogen responses after fructose and lactose administration. METHODS Two hund...
متن کاملMetabolism of dietary fibre components in man assessed by breath hydrogen and methane.
1. Breath hydrogen and methane were measured in eight normal individuals after acute and separate administration of different chemical components of dietary fibre. 2. Hemicellulose, raffinose and lactulose increased H2 production, while cellulose pectin and lignin did not. Methane production was found to be individual and unaffected by any of the substances. Differences in physical properties o...
