Role of Endocannabinoids on Neuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorder Prevention
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) disease has become a mounting socio-economical alarm around the world. Neuroinflammtion had been shown in postmortem brain specimens from ASD patients. The Endocannabinoids System (ES) consists of a family of locally produced, short-lived, endogenous, phospholipid-derived agonists (endocannabinoids) that control energy balance and body composition. The growing number of medical benefits of ES, such as their ability to regulate processes like neuroinflammation, neurogenesis and memory, raise the question of their potential role as a preventive treatment of ASD. To test this hypothesis, basic and clinical studies allow us a thorough investigation of the role of ES in the pathogenesis of ASD. This hypothesis will help to understand the mechanism of ES and its role in ASD.
