Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of maternal organic food consumption during pregnancy on the risk of ADHD and autism symptoms in children at age 8, using data from a large Norwegian cohort study.
- It evaluates dietary habits through a food frequency questionnaire and assesses children's behavior through standardized symptom scores, controlling for factors like maternal mental health.
- The findings indicate minimal association between organic food intake and ADHD or autism symptoms, suggesting that increased consumption has negligible effects on these developmental disorders.
The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan (Trp) metabolism generates multiple biologically active metabolites (kynurenines) that have been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders.

We performed a systematic review with aims of summarizing changes in Trp and/or kynurenines after ECT and assessing methodological issues.
