High Protein Kinase B (Akt) Concentration in Attention Deficit Disorder
Authors: Russo AJ, Albert Mensah, Judith Bowman, James Lukasik.
Abstract
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It has been suggested that the mTOR pathway, which downstream includes activation of Akt, is involved in ADHD. In this study, we measured the concentration of phosphorylated Akt in 55 ADD patients and 32 neurotypical controls using an ELISA. We found that Akt levels were significantly higher in the ADD group and may be important to the etiology of ADD/ADHD.
