Abstract: | Sonic hedgehog signaling and brain-derived neurotrophic factor play a neuro-protective role against oxidative stress in autism.
Sonic hedgehog also increases Bcl-2 expression and the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. The
level or activity of Bcl-2, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione
peroxidase are decreased in autism. Sonic hedgehog also decreases the production of malondialdehyde that its level is high
in autism. Therefore, it is supposed that sonic hedgehog may be associated with oxidative stress in autism through other pathways
too. |
