Hexacosenoic Acid
Explanation: Hexacosenoic acid is a type of unsaturated fat that naturally occurs in small amounts in the body. It plays a role in fat metabolism, but when it builds up, it may signal problems with how the body breaks down certain fats, especially in rare inherited conditions.
Test Purpose:
- Evaluate fat metabolism to help detect rare genetic disorders like X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.
- Monitor treatment response in people with known disorders affecting fat breakdown.
- Support diagnosis when imbalances in very long-chain fatty acids are suspected.
