A scientific review of domestic and foreign medical literature is presented, devoted to the analysis of the role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) – an important essential factor in the nutrition of the cell membrane. The therapeutic effects of omega-3 PUFAs were analyzed.

A wide range of therapeutic effects, almost universality of omega-3 PUFA drugs explains their effectiveness in various diseases, as well as in the “background” conditions. Therefore, the use of omega-3 PUFAs in the complex therapy of autonomic syndromes, autonomic dysfunction in children is an important corrector of disorders of cerebro-intestinal, cerebro-cardiac and other interactions.
