title: Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid levels in chronic illness.
abstract: Abnormal long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCP) levels are found in children and adults who have several chronic diseases, due to restricted diets or possible abnormalities in metabolic pathways. In some cases, LCP supplementation is effective. Judy More looked at studies assessing LCP levels and supplementation in children with chronic diseases.
