| Abstract | The present clinical trial was initiated due to assorted reports in the evidence-based literature that the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish/fish oils as DHA+EPA may modify the risk of selected adult neuropsychiatric disorders and that imbalances in these polyunsaturated fatty acids may be of relevance to some childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. Furthermore, the parents of children with autism have reported upon their impressions that improvements in overall health and associated clinical characteristics and behaviour were apparently exhibited upon supplementation with fish oils enriched in omega-3 fatty acids. Consequently, the present double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial with supplemental omega-3 fatty acids as DHA/EPA combined was inducted. |
