Aim: To verify the development of some disorders of Autism by a metabolic alteration in the digestion of some foods for the change of the permeability of the intestinal mucus layer.
Methods: A critical review of the process of the formation of opioidslike peptides produced for an alteration in intestinal permeability able to overcome the encephalic lumen barrier.
Results: Recent studies show that some opioid peptides as the beta-casomorphin-7 pass through the encephalic barrier binding to receptors and inhibiting the normal neuronal transmitter’s reuptake.
Conclusion: The phenomenon of the alteration of the intestinal permeability is always associated with the change in the intestinal mucin expres... view moreĀ»
