Excess Ammonia in Autism
tacanow.org/family-resources/excess-ammonia-in-autism
" It is suggested that in patients with autism, the diseased intestines generate more ammonia than the liver can clear at first pass which results in ammonia entering the brain"
"In this study, the concentration of ammonia in stool was significantly greater in ASD participants than in controls" www.pubmed.gov/22535281
Detoxification and Autism

"It has been shown that kids with Autism have impaired detoxification. One in six children has a neurodevelopmental disability" www.pubmed.gov/20628438 www.pubmed.gov/32006375

Autistic-like findings associated with a urea cycle disorder in a 4-year-old-girl
serum ammonia level 144 micromoles/l (normal under 50 micromoles/l
"The patient's protein intake was restricted, and she was treated with sodium benzoate and arginine"
"After 1 year of treatment, the autistic-like findings and hyperactivity were no longer apparent"
Assessment of Amino Acids, Ammonia and Oxidative Stress Among Cohort of Egyptian Autistic Children
www.pubmed.gov/32021195 (Full text)
Table 5 Autism Spectrum Disorder (54 patients) median serum ammonia 189 ug/dl (63 micromol/l)
Cohort Controls (64 patients) median serum ammonia 134 ug/dl (44 micromol/l)
p value 0.001 (significant < 0.01)
"Dysregulated amino acid metabolism, high ammonia and oxidative stress were prevalent among autistic children and should be considered in autism management"
