    Glossary Free Fatty Acids

    types of fat molecules not attached to other molecules

    Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) are types of fat molecules that are not attached to other molecules, such as glycerol. They circulate in the bloodstream and can be used by the body as a source of energy. Elevated levels of FFAs in the blood can be associated with metabolic conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
