Description: Free fatty acids (FFA)-also called unesterified (UFA) or nonesterified (NEFA) fatty acids--are fatty acids that are in the unesterified state.

Shoer chain fatty acids are more water-soluble and exist as the unionized acid or as a fatty acid anion. Ref: Botham K.M., Mayes P.A. (2011). Chapter 22. Oxidation of Fatty Acids: Ketogenesis.
