Life (Basel) . 2022 Jul; 12(7). PMID: 35888093
Background: Evidence exists that steroid hormones are altered in individuals with autism, especially androgens. Despite lower prevalence in girls than boys, evidence of potential alterations in progesterone metabolites is sparse,...

Life (Basel) . 2022 Jun; 12(6). PMID: 35743898
Increasing evidence exists that higher levels of androgens can be found in individuals with autism. Evidence yields to a susceptible role of Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) with its catalyzation of...

Int J Mol Sci . 2021 Nov; 22(22). PMID: 34830216
There is increasing evidence that steroid hormone levels and, especially, androgen levels are elevated in autism. An overactivity of 17, 20-lyase with a higher production of the testosterone precursors dehydroepiandrosterone...
