Mineral Imbalance in Children with Autistic Disorders

Mineral Imbalance in Children with Autistic Disorders

In order to investigate any role of minerals in autistic disorders, we measured 24 mineral contents in scalp hair samples of 360 autistic children and compared with those of healthy controls. In the male autistic group aged 4-9 years (N=200), the geometric means of many element levels, namely not on...

Zusammenfassung:In order to investigate any role of minerals in autistic disorders, we measured 24 mineral contents in scalp hair samples of 360 autistic children and compared with those of healthy controls. In the male autistic group aged 4-9 years (N=200), the geometric means of many element levels, namely not only essential minerals such as cobalt, chromium, iodine, molybdenum and phosphorus, but also nickel, boron, cadmium and lead were significantly lower than those in the control group (p
