Serum non-esterified fatty acids have utility as dietary biomarkers of fat intake from fish, fish oil and dairy in women

Journal of Lipid Research Apr 07, 2020

Azab SM, de Souza RJ, Teo KK, et al. - Using a high throughput method (< 4 min/sample) based on multisegment injection-non-aqueous-capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (MSI-NACE-MS), experts aspired to explore if specific serum non-esterified fatty acid (NEFAs) have utility as biomarkers of dietary fat intake in women. Among pregnant women with contrasting dietary patterns (n = 50), circulating NEFAs associated with long-term/habitual food intake were first identified. In addition, acute changes in serum NEFA trajectories were analyzed in non-pregnant women (n = 18) following high-dose (5 g/day) fish oil supplementation or isoenergetic sunflower oil placebo over 56 days. In the cross-sectional study, serum omega-3 (ω-3) FA associated with self-reported total ω-3 daily intake, notably eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as its NEFA, while pentadecanoic acid was linked to full-fat dairy intake, outcomes consistent with outcomes from total FA serum hydrolysates. According to findings, MSI-NACE-MS provides a rapid method for the quantification of serum NEFAs and objective monitoring of dietary fat intake in women complementing diet records or questionnaires on food frequency.
