2011, Consciousness and CognitionThe association of fatty acid deficiency symptoms (FADS) with actual essential fatty acid status in cheek cells
2010, Prostaglandins Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty AcidsCitation Excerpt :Colquhoun and Bunday [15] reported an increased prevalence of atopic disorders and heightened thirst in hyperactive boys, with anecdotal reports of reduced hyperactive behaviour with evening primrose oil supplementation. Subsequent studies have reported heightened physical symptoms postulated to be indicative of EFA deficiency in children and adults with ADHD [16,17], dyslexia [18–20] and ASD [7,21]. Higher frequencies of coughs, colds and infections have been reported in children with ADHD in comparison to controls [4,5,15,17].

2009, Prostaglandins Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty AcidsCitation Excerpt :During the last two decades over a dozen published population studies have shown that people with learning disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and autism either have signs of essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency including dry skin, hair and nails, and frequent thirst and urination [1–3] or they have lower than normal blood concentrations of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and to a lesser extent arachidonic acid (AA) based on area % measurements [4–14].
