Lipid Analysis in Biology, Health, and Disease, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Lipid Analysis in Biology, Health, and Disease bridges the gap between discovery science and clinical lipidology, empowering both scientific and medical communities to apply lipid analysis and understanding in new research, as well as diagnosis and management of diseases. Here, international experts in the field begin with the basic biology of the lipids, followed by methods and technology for study, and lipids in lab medicine and epidemiology. This book uniquely combines biology and analysis to drive healthcare advances, with a diverse range of technologies and analytic methods considered.

Basic lipid biology chapters discuss membrane expansion, lysosomal positioning, mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid-protein interactions, molecular dynamics, cholesterol transport, immune activation and inflammation, lipid droplets, and gender differences in lipid metabolism. Each disease chapter incorporates basic lipid epidemiology, risk factors, and genetic associations.
