Question: 1 / 400

What is a measure of an essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency?

C/C ratio (cholesterol to choline)

F/F ratio (fatty acids to free radicals)

R/R ratio (reactive oxygen species to antioxidants)

T/T ratio (triene to tetraene)

An essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency is commonly measured through the ratio of triene to tetraene (T/T ratio). This is because EFAs play an important role in the production and metabolism of these fatty acids, and a deficiency can lead to an imbalance in this ratio. The other options, while all relevant in some aspect of health or nutrition, do not specifically measure for an EFA deficiency and therefore are incorrect choices for this question.
