Patterns of reading ability in children with autism spectrum disorder.
TL;DR: Overall, levels of word and nonword reading and text reading accuracy fell within average range although reading comprehension was impaired, but there was considerable variability across the sample with performance on most tests ranging from floor to ceiling levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-chain n−3 PUFA: plant v. marine sources
TL;DR: Dietary up-regulation of the conversion of EPA to DHA has also been suggested, as a result of the actions of oestrogen on Δ6-desaturase, and may be of particular importance in maintaining adequate provision of DHA in pregnancy.

TL;DR: Divergent effects of cis-9,trans-11 CLA and trans-10,cis-12 CLA appear on the blood lipid profile in healthy humans: trans-8,9,9 CLA increases LDL:HDL cholesterol and total: HDL cholesterol, whereas cis-7,8,8 CLA decreases them.
