“… 1 Autism is characterized by impairment of both verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, imagination, repetitive behaviour, restricted behaviour/interest, intellectual disability and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. 2 The global prevalence of autism is 0.62%, while recent epidemiological studies predict it to be 1.4% in the United States. 3 Boys are more vulnerable to autism than girls with a ratio of 3.5 or 4.0 boys to 1 girl.…”

The aspect of treatment of autistic behaviour was investigated using valproic acid rat model of pregnant female rats. Two main groups (10 male rats/group) were treated for 6 days and then divided into six subgroups. The first group of normal rats was divided into three subgroups: (A) – control group, (B) – treated with camel milk (CAM; 2 mL/p.o) and (C) – treated with leptin (1000 µg/kg i.p) twice daily. The second group of autistic rats was randomly distributed into four subgroups as follows: (D) – positive control (autistics rats), (E) – treated with CAM, (F) – treated with a moderate dose of leptin and (G) – treated with a higher dose of leptin. Autistic behaviours of male offspring were checked by grooming and elevated pulz maze tests. Valproic acid (VPA)-induced autistic rats showed severe changes in oxidative stress markers, neurotransmitters and inflammatory cytokines, besides genotoxic manifestation of expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, Bax and caspase-3. Leptin or CAM alone showed no signs of toxicity. CAM showed pronounced improvement in control rats than control itself. Leptin or CAM treatment of autistic animals showed a significant improvement of all measured parameters and genetic expression values. The improvement was pronounced in animals treated with CAM. These results suggest that CAM is a potential therapeutic candidate for autism via regulation of inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. Leptin plays an essential role in alleviation of autistic behaviour through antioxidant effects.

“…It is limited to treating larger areas (large animals) and takes up more time in application which may be disadvantageous for agitated cases. Pérez‐Samartín () defines numerous biological effects attributed to laser therapy and stimulation of mitochondrial respiratory chain, increasing ATP synthesis, increased synthesis of reactive oxygen species and improvement in the state of the nervous tissue, muscle and joint. These effects are due to energy absorbed by the materials that energy passes through and not the energy lost as heat.…”

“…AP‐injection has also been studied to treat dairy cattle with reproductive disorders and horses with lameness and back pain. Acupuncture can also be used to inject medication or vaccines for immunisation to obtain the added benefit of stimulating acupoints besides the drug effect of the medicine used in the point (Pérez‐Samartín ).…”
