calculated adipocyte free fatty acid secretion measurement absolute change in adipocyte free fatty acid secretion 2012-07-03T09:13:23Z CMO:0000879 JSmith The difference in the amount of free or non-esterified fatty acid released/secreted from a fat cell between two conditions, for example between the basal or baseline state and a stimulated state, such as occurs with administration of a hormone which stimulates lipolysis. The term "absolute change" refers to the subtraction of one value from another, as opposed to a dissimilarity of two values expressed as a ratio or as a percentage. In this context it is not intended to necessarily imply the difference expressed as an absolute value |n|, that is, the numeric value of the difference without regard to its sign.
