The level of arabinitol in autistic children after probiotic therapy

Kałużna-Czaplińska, Joanna, Błaszczyk, Sylwia·2012·Nutrition

Abstract

Objective The level of D-arabinitol (DA) and the ratio of D-/L-arabinitol (DA/LA) in the urine of children with autism were investigated. The changes in DA/LA after probiotic treatment in urine samples of children with autism were studied.Methods DA and LA and the DA/LA ratio were identified by capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in urine before and after the probiotic therapy.Results The level of DA is significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the urine of autistic children before (A) and after probiotic supplementation (A1) (160.04 ± 22.88 μmol/mmol creatinine and 89.53 ± 37.41 μmol/mmol creatinine, respectively). Nonetheless, the probiotic supplementation let to a significant decrease in DA and DA/LA and to a significant improvement in ability of concentration and carrying out orders.Conclusion The use of probiotics seems to be helpful in reducing the level of DA and the ratio of DA/LA in the urine of children with autism.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A preliminary study of 22 children with ASD and GI dysfunction found that D-arabinitol concentrations and D-arabinitol/L-arabinitol ratios were significantly reduced with daily probiotics, and improvements were seen in certain ASD behaviors including ability to concentrate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
