We have read with great interest Uchida and colleagues’ paper in your journal (2009; 29: 571–576), which reported that a high dosage of risperidone had a negative impact on cognition in older patients with schizophrenia. This finding is consistent with that of a previous study of a younger patient group showing that schizophrenia patients under high antipsychotic dosage have poor cognitive function performance....

There are four types of fatty acids but only two types are essential nutritional requirements for many animals. These are the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFA) and the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and because they cannot be converted to one another they are separate essential dietary requirements. They are only required in small amounts in the diet and their biological importance stems largely from their role as constituents of membrane lipids. They are synthesised by plants and, as a generalisation, green leaves are the source of n-3 PUFA while seeds are the source of n-6 PUFA in …
