Lipid Metabolism focuses on the regulation and metabolism of lipids. This book is composed of 10 chapters that specifically deal with fatty acids, prostaglandins, glycerides, glycerophosphates, cholesterol, isoprenoids, and aromatic compounds. This text starts with an overview of fatty acid metabolism and its controlling factors. This topic is followed by discussions on the physiochemical aspects of oxidative metabolism of fatty acids, with a special emphasis on the role of carnitine in this process. A chapter highlights the several important aspects of higher plant lipid metabolism. Other chapters are devoted to the structures, biosynthesis, and metabolism of prostaglandins, bacterial lipids, phospholipids, glycerides, and steroids. The final chapters describe the biogenesis of aromatic substances through the polyketide path, including polyisoprenoid quinines and related compounds.

Handbook of Lipids in Human Function: Fatty Acids presents current research relating to health issues whose impact may be modified by adopting personalized diets and lifestyle interventions of the consumption of fatty acids. Addressing cardiovascular and neurological diseases as well as cancer, obesity, inflammatory conditions, and lung disease, the authors correlate lipid sources with specific conditions, providing important insights into preventative as well as response-based actions designed to positively impact health outcomes. The material is presented in 29 chapters and brings together the research and work of an international team of experts. designed to bridge the gap between traditional approaches to dietary interventions and leading edge integrated health strategies, Handbook of Lipids in Human Function: Fatty Acids is a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians.

Internationally eminent scientists illuminate the most important scientific aspects of essential fatty acids (EFAs)-from their biochemistry to their physiological consequences in both health and illness. The distinguished contributors integrate a wide range of topics, including the basic biochemistry of EFAs and lipid metabolism, the role of EFAs in the neuronal membrane, the effects of EFAs and lipids in various diseases, and the effects of normal levels and EFA deficiencies on cognition and behavior. The book's consolidation of our knowledge of the biology and metabolism of the EFAs lays the groundwork for dramatic advances in our understanding of these ubiquitous biochemicals and their role in health and illness.

Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water. They include fat, oil, wax and hormones. Lipids serve many different functions in the human body such as helping in signal transduction, contributing to the structural integrity of cellular membranes, and regulating the energy metabolism. The process of lipid metabolism involves biosynthesis and lipid degradation. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the conversion of excess carbohydrate and protein into fatty acids and triglycerides. Beta-oxidation is a metabolic degradation process that is involved in the breakdown of fatty acid molecules in the mitochondria or in peroxisomes to generate acetyl-CoA. There are some positive health benefits associated with the consumption of fatty acids. However, there are some risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity related to the total dietary intake of fats and other lipids. This book addresses the role of lipids in human function and health. Its extensive content provides the medical students and researchers interested in studying lipids with a thorough understanding of the subject.
