Toxemia, specific language impairment may be caused by low essential fatty acids.

Drug Week | October 31, 2003 | Copyright

2003 OCT 31 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Toxemia and specific language impairment may both be caused by low levels of essential fatty acids in utero.

"An association between specific language impairment (SLI) and toxemia has been detected in several studies. No clear explanation for this association has been identified to date. However, a number of potential explanations have been offered," researchers in the United States report.

"These include toxemia causes fetal anoxia which leads to brain damage; toxemia in the mother is an indication of maternal ...
