A healthy result should fall into the range 15 - 139 µmol/L.
Myristic acid is a medium chain fatty acid (=MCFA). It is present in palm kernel oil, coconut oil, butterfat, milk and to some extent in animal fats.
Various studies have shown that myristic acid was the saturated fatty acid most strongly related to the average serum cholesterol concentrations [L]. Hence, myristic acid is positively correlated with higher cholesterol levels as well as raising triglycerides in plasma and increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease (=CVD).
