Abstract
Erythrocyte polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels from individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis (n = 80) were compared to existing data from healthy controls (n = 142). Results demonstrated PUFA deficits (α-linolenic acid, eicosapentanoic acid, all ω-6 PUFAs) for the UHR group. Findings provide a rationale for PUFA based interventions in emerging psychosis.Entities:
