Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Autism spectrum disorders are neurodevelopmental conditions associated with immune system dysregulation. VDBP-MAF replacement therapy has been investigated for ASD and has been shown to decrease the activity of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) and reactivate macrophages [12]. Promising results have been reported after treatment with VDBP-MAF, with significant improvements and even full recovery observed in some cases [13].
Other studies have examined nagalase activity in individuals with ASD and the effects of VDBP-MAF therapy [14]. Elevated Nagalase levels were found in individuals with ASD indicating immune dysfunction. Nagalase activity significantly decreased after treatment indicating therapeutic benefits. Improvements in language, social skills, and cognition were observed, which highlights the significance of nagalase and the potential benefits of Immunax for ASD.
