Oleic acid
Explanation: Oleic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in olive oil, avocados, nuts, and animal fats. It is known for its heart-healthy benefits, helping to reduce LDL cholesterol, support brain function, and lower inflammation. Unlike omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, oleic acid is not essential, as the body can synthesize it.
Test purpose: An oleic acid blood test helps assess:
- Cardiovascular health, since oleic acid influences cholesterol levels.
- Lipid metabolism and fat balance.
- Inflammatory response, as oleic acid helps reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
- Brain and cognitive function, since it plays a role in neuronal protection and mental health.
- Nutritional status and dietary fat intake, ensuring a healthy balance of monounsaturated fats in the diet.
