Biochemically, individuals with ALD show very high levels of unbranched, saturated, very long chain fatty acids, particularly
cerotic acid
Kaynak: Adrenoleukodystrophyratio of triacontanyl palmitate CH 3(CH 2)29 O-CO-(CH 2)14 CH 3 to
cerotic acid CH 3(CH 2)24 COOH, the two principal components, being 6:1.

cerotic, lignoceric or melissic acid
