Description
Davoud Amiri and his team combine, in 2026, fifteen case-control studies on chemical oxidation balance in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Oxidation damage and weak antioxidant defences have been put forward as part of the biology of this disorder, but single studies disagree. Their review covered work published from 2010 to 2025.
Damage markers were higher in ADHD, including malondialdehyde and a marker of DNA oxidation, and global oxidant measures also rose. Overall antioxidant levels and one key enzyme were lower, while two other enzymes showed no consistent difference. Variation between studies was low to moderate, and bias checks were clean. Effects were strongest in untreated children, weaker in adults or treated groups, which points to redox imbalance as a real but modest feature.
