| description | One method for diagnosing acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies is fatty acid oxidation analysis in cultured fibroblasts. Using multiple fatty acid substrates with varying carbon chain lengths, such as palmitate (16 carbons) [LOINC: 78358-9] and and myristate (14 carbons) (this term), can help differentiate between disorders such as long-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and medium-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.[PMID: 2109149] Enzyme activity is measured as nanomoles of fatty acid oxidized per hour per milligram of cell protein (nmol FA/h/mg protein).

| property | CCnt = Catalytic Content | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Fibroblasts | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
