Free Fatty Acid (FFA) Content Assay Kit (Enzymatic Method)

Free Fatty Acids (FFA) refer to non-esterified fatty acids. The lipids present in the human body can be roughly classified into three types: cholesterol ， phospholipids ， etc. Free fatty acids are one of the substances produced by the decomposition of neutral fats. When the energy source for muscle activity - glycogen - is depleted ， adipose tissue breaks down neutral fats into free fatty acids to serve as an energy source. High levels of free fatty acids ， leading to hyperfree fatty acidemia ， are associated with the occurrence and development of diseases such as metabolic syndrome ， atherosclerosis ， acute coronary syndrome ， and heart failure.
