| Research Abstract |
In this project, we were executing analysis to search specific protein or analyte by mass analysis using serum of individuals with autism. Then, we had a plan to identify the candidate marker molecule for early diagnosis of autism based on the birth cohort by cord blood. In proteomics analysis, we expected to execute differential display by two-dimensional electrophoresis but failed because of the equipment disorder. In metabolome analysis, we identified that free fatty acid and acyl-carnitine were increased in serum of individuals with autism as compared controls, which concluded that lipolysis was progressing in serum of individuals with autism. The birth cohort by cord blood have not yet examined within this term of grant-in-aid.
