How is homeostasis of blood lipids maintained? Describe the functions of HDL cholesterol in the body. Organic molecules play a major role in living organisms. What is their main function? What is the purpose of various membranes that surround the digestive organs?
The Biochemistry of the LipidsWHEN an author apologizes so profusely as does Dr. Bull for writing a book on a particular subject, the reviewer is to a great extent disarmed. There are, however, several comments which may be made for the purpose of general information.Z. I. K...
Lipids are the most abundant but poorly explored components of the human brain. Here, we present a lipidome map of the human brain comprising 75 regions, including 52 neocortical ones. The lipidome composition varies greatly among the brain regions, affe

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the different physical factors on low-density lipoproteins (LDL) accumulation from flowing blood to the arterial wall of the left coronary arteries. The three-dimensional (3D) computational model of t
What is the most important role of lipids?Lipids:Lipids are essential macromolecules for any organism. If your doctor says that you have high cholesterol it means you have high levels in blood of a low-density lipoprotein (LDL), fats called triglycerides, or both. These are both lipids that...
Because lysates are complex mixtures of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids, one must generally assume that some amount of nonspecific binding to the IP antibody, Protein A/G, or the beaded support might occur and negatively ...
Lipidomics is a branch of metabolomics that identifies and quantifies the lipids produced by cells in response to pathogenic stimuli [16]. The purpose of lipidomics research is to identify and quantitatively determine the spectrum of intact lipid molecules found in cells and biological fluids, as...
This review, however, will focus on a specific group of potent lipid-derived inflammatory mediators called “oxylipids,” that also are known as oxylipins or eicosanoids in the literature. As the name implies, oxylipids are a family of lipid metabolites derived from the oxygenation of n-6 (...
