Fatty Acids play important roles in normal metabolism and in many disease states. They are precursors to a number of bioactive classes of compounds including prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and have been implicated to play roles in such diverse functions as the immune system, autism, and the inflammatory response. Fatty acid levels are an important measure of the physiologic state. High levels are associated with diabetes mellitus, obesity, endocrine dysfunctions, and metabolic syndrome. BioVision's EZScreenTM Free Fatty Acid Colorimetric assay kit provides a simple method for the quantification free fatty acids. The kit offers a convenient, sensitive, enzyme-based method for the detection of long-chain (C-8 (octanoate) and longer) fatty a
