The Fatty Acid Panel, Comprehensive (C8–C26) analyzes a broad spectrum of over 40 fatty acids in serum, including medium-, long-, and very-long-chain species, to assess mitochondrial β-oxidation efficiency, detect peroxisomal disorders, essential fatty acid deficiencies, and evaluate nutritional status. Abnormal patterns such as elevated very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) or altered omega‑3/omega‑6 ratios may indicate underlying metabolic or peroxisomal defects and guide dietary or therapeutic interventions.
