Research progress on the relationship between attention deficit and hyperactive disorder and inflammation
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 8
Abstract
The pathogenesis of attention deficit and hyperactive disorder (ADHD) remains unclear. Evidence from epidemiological, biomarker, and genetic studies indicates that inflammation may play a crucial role in ADHD development. Inflammation can influence the onset and progression of ADHD through various mechanisms, such as activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, alterations in neurotransmitter metabolism, maternal immune activation, disruption of the blood-brain barrier integrity, and impacts on neurodevelopment. A deeper understanding of the relationship between inflammation and ADHD could provide valuable insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of ADHD and open new perspectives for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
