As much as lipids have an important function in the body, too much is clearly not good. It increases our risk of heart disease and obesity. I wish I had been more careful about how much fatty foods I consumed when I was younger. Maybe I wouldn't have cholesterol now. ...
Lipid droplets are storage organelles at the centre of lipid and energy homeostasis. They have a unique architecture consisting of a hydrophobic core of neutral lipids, which is enclosed by a phospholipid monolayer that is decorated by a specific set of proteins. Originating from the endoplasmic ret...

Lipid - Apolipoproteins, Functions, Recycling: The nine classes of apoproteins listed in the table are synthesized in the mucosal cells of the intestine and in the liver, with the liver accounting for about 80 percent of production. Chylomicrons are sy
Lipids are present in plasma in suspension and in solution. The concentration of lipids in plasma varies, particularly in relation to meals, but ordinarily does notexceed1 gram per 100 millilitres. The largest fraction consists ofphospholipids, complex molecules containingphosphoric acidand a nitrogen...

What Is the Skin? Yourskinis the largest organ of your body. It's made up of several different substances, including water, protein, lipids, minerals and chemicals.The average adult's skin weighs about 6 pounds. Its job is crucial — to protect you from infections and germs. Throughout ...
The main cells of the adipose tissue of animals, adipocytes, are characterized by the presence of large cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs), which store triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol. However, most cells have LDs and the ability to store lipids. LDs have a well-known central role in storage ...
