To facilitate the transition from heterogeneous research protocols to clinically deployable (e.g., CLIA-grade) testing, a recent consensus outlines critical steps, including: (1) data sharing that includes aggregation kinetics data and pre-analytical raw data, (2) a consensus on which specific parameters or combination of parameters should be reported, and (3) establishing universal reference samples as standard calibrations to evaluate the assay performance across laboratories [14]
While they aren't a major source of DHA (the long-chain omega3 that directly supports fetal brain development), these fats still: Contribute to overall energy and fat intake Support normal brain and nervous system function Help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E You'll still want separate, reliable sources of DHA, such as lowmercury fatty fish, fortified foods, or a clinician-approved supplement if needed
