چکیده
There is a wide spectrum of conditions in which deficiencies of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) appear to play a role (Glen et al, 1999). This includes atopic (allergic) conditions such as eczema and asthma as well as psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. The focus here is on the role of HUFA in three common learning and behavioural disorders dyslexia, dyspraxia and attentiondeficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although similar issues may also be relevant to the autistic spectrum (Richardson and Ross, 2000).
