doi:10.11852/zgetbjzz2021-0747

Abstract

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is a neuropsychiatric developmental disorder that begins in infancy and childhood. Steroid hormones may result in the onset of ASD by affecting neuropsychiatric development. This article reviews the relationship between common steroid hormones and ASD.

Key words: steroid hormone, autism spectrum disorder, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, male hormone, vitamin D

摘要： 孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)是一类起源于婴幼儿时期的神经发育障碍性疾病。类固醇激素可能通过影响儿童的神经-精神发育而参与ASD发病。本文对常见的类固醇激素与ASD之间关系作一综述。
