The Role of Sex-differentiated Variations in Microbiota, Stress Hormones, Antioxidants, and Neuroimmune Responses in Relation to Social Interaction Impairment in a Rodent Model of Autism
Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that presents a male bias
particularly regarding the prevalence, with a ratio of up to four males to one female. However, the
mechanisms underlying such male susceptibility have not been fully elucidated. In our study, we used a well-established propionic acid (PPA) rodent model of autism to study sex differences in microbiota, stress hormones, antioxidants’ status, and the neuroimmune response that may contribute to increasin
