Brief Summary:
The present project is to identify the relationship between ADHD and the metabolites of tryptophan.
Detailed Description:
Because attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an early onset and long-term impairing disorder with tremendous impact on individuals, families, and societies, detection and diagnosis are very important for ADHD. According to investigators previous work, participants with ADHD have executive dysfunction. Previous studies show that tryptophan is associated with cognitive problems in participants. Analyzing differences in tryptophan metabolites (Indolepropionic acid \[IPA\], indoleacetic acid \[IAA\], and kynurenic acid \[KYNA\]) between participants with ADHD and healthy controls could provide insight into underlying disease pathology of cognitive deficits. In this one-year project, investigators will perform an analysis of tryptophan metabolites in serum to identify potential biomarkers for the executive dysfunction of ADHD.
