Omega Fatty Acids Balance Test - Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids Test

Gas chromatography is performed on a blood sample to assess the ratio of essential fatty acids, specifically omega-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, DHA) versus omega-6 (linoleic acid and arachidonic acid, AA). This ratio measures the anti-inflammatory versus pro-inflammatory dietary balance, an important indicator of metabolic and cardiovascular health.
