Lipoproteins are molecules that are formed from fats (lipids) and proteins. These lipoproteins contain cholesterol and triglycerides, and it is carried to different cells via the bloodstream. Two groups of lipoproteins are high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)....

Women in mid-life experience unique stressors, including transitions within their family roles, informal caregiving, job stress, and perceived discrimination. The impact of these stressors on cardiovascular health in women during mid-life is of growing i
Scientists from these companies have found a way to genetically modify algae and double the production of fatty lipids. As a result, the amount of biofuel that can be produced from algae doubles as well. The companies are optimistic that the next phase of their research program could enable ...
Lecithin also helps protect and rebuild bone tissue and is a component of the viscous fluid that lubricates the joints so that they move fluidly and comfortably, according to a study published byLipids in Health and Diseasejournal.(8)
It was previous thought that WAT is only an energy storage facility. Research has also shown that WAT aids in the homeostasis of lipids and provides a buffering system postprandial. Postprandial, adipocytes uptake fatty acids while suppressing the release of non-esterified fatty acids into circulation...
In general, microbubbles can be made of a variety of materials. There is typically a gas center surrounded by a shell constructed of polymers, lipids, or proteins. Akadeum’s microbubbles are a polydisperse mixture of thin glass microspheres with a gaseous core. We use glass-shelled microbubble...
A chronically elevated level of the hormone insulin is the number one problem we now have as a society. Insulin’s main job is to regulate sugar levels when glucose is present in the blood. When too much glucose is present, insulin stores it as fat, and when glucose levels are consistentl...
(countable) A lipid that is solid at room temperature, which fat tissue contains and which is also found in the blood circulation; sometimes, a refined substance chemically resembling such naturally occurring lipids. Dietary fat is not the evil that it was once misapprehended to be; carbs are...
