Dietary intake of LCFA and EFA and plasma triene: tetraene ratio in a child with LCHADD. LCFA, long-chain fatty acids; EFA, essential fatty acids. LCFA and EFA intake is expressed as percentage of total energy. Triene: tetraene ratio normal values = 0.02 ± 0.01. Low LCFA and EFA intake is associated with elevated triene: tetraene ratios, indicative of EFA deficiency
