What does it mean to have high levels of free fatty acids in women?

Free fatty acids in women are higher than normal.

Under normal circumstances, free fatty acids range from 0.3-0.9mmol/L, which can be used as a sensitive indicator of body fat metabolism, endocrine function and glucose metabolism. Free fatty acids are higher than normal, usually due to blood fatty acid levels exceeding albumin binding capacity. When their values rise, they are generally related to non-disease factors, such as exercise, hunger, emotional agitation, etc. It may also be associated with obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.

Therefore, if elevated values are found, it is recommended to seek medical examination to determine the specific cause to help control free fatty acid levels and improve related health problems.
