Comprehensive Fatty Acid Profile

The Comprehensive Fatty Acid Profile (C8–C26) analyzes 40+ fatty acids in serum—including medium, long, and very long chain species—to evaluate mitochondrial β-oxidation, peroxisomal disorders, essential fatty acid deficiency, or nutritional status. Abnormal patterns (e.g. elevated VLCFAs, altered w3/w6 ratios) help detect metabolic or peroxisomal defects and guide dietary or therapeutic interventions.
