Cholesterol is one of several types of fats (lipids) that play an important role in your body. Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in all cells of body. The body needs it to make hormones, Vitamin D, and substances that aid in digestion. The liver makes all the cholesterol needed for ...
The subjects were healthy, normal-weight, passive in free time physical activity and with sedentary occupations. Mean age and body mass index (BMI) of the females were 27.5±4.7 (range: 23–35 years) and 21.7±1.6 kg/m2 (range: 19.6–25.1), respectively. The mean age and BMI of the ...
In subsequent sensitivity analyses, additional adjustments for the associations with disease risk were made for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and body mass index (BMI). To account for the large number of highly correlated metabolic measures, we used a false discovery rate correction (14) and ...
Lipids are an essential component of our body composi- tion and necessary in our daily food intake. Conventional fats and oils are composed of glycerides of long chain fatty acids and are designated as long chain triglycerides (LCT). Body fat as well as the fats and oils in our daily ...
Please minimize the use of abbreviations and do not cite references in the abstract. Keywords Three to ten keywords representing the main content of the article. Main text This should contain the body of the article, and may also be broken into subsections with short, informative headings. ...
Lipids in Health and Diseaseis calling for submissions to our new Collection on Environmental Exposures and Lipid Homeostasis: Investigating the Impact of Pollutants on Metabolic Health. This Collection focuses on the link between environmental factors and lipid homeostasis. ...
By contrast, mean BMI showed a significant increasing trend from 23.2 kg/m2 in 2002 to 23.9 kg/m2 in 2010 and then to 24.2 kg/m2 in 2015 (P < 0.001). The proportions of low body weight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5-23.9 kg/m2), overweight (24.0-27.9 kg/m2), and obese...

The main n-6 fatty acid in our diet is linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is essential because it is used to make other fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives (such as eicosanoids) that have an essential role in our body. For instance, linoleic acid is used to make arachidonic acid, which in...
For instance, a major PC species in mouse liver mitochondria has one palmitate and one arachidonate. Most membrane lipids follow a similar balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids,1,6 but not cardiolipin, which is the most unsaturated (i.e. oxidised) lipid of our body.7,13 The high...
