A recent study conducted at Jersey Shore University Medical Center explores the relationship between cholesterol deficiency and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study specifically focuses on the effects of valproic acid (VPA), a drug used to treat epilepsy and mood disorders, on cholesterol homeostasis in neurons and microglial cells. The researchers found that VPA treatment had varying effects on the expression of cholesterol transporters and metabolizing enzymes in different cell lines. However, changes in gene expression did not consistently correlate with cholesterol efflux. This study provides new insights into the potential mechanisms underlying ASD and highlights the need for further research in this area. [Extracted from the article]
