Lipids
Nova Science Publishers Inc (Verlag)
978-1-61668-464-8 (ISBN)
The main biological function of lipids include energy storage, as structural components of cell membranes, and as important signalling molecules. Lipids are a major source of energy in the body and supply essential lipid-soluble vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that are required in relatively high amounts during growth and life. Lipids affect the composition of membrane structures and modulate membrane functions as well as the functional development of the central nervous system. This book presents and discusses topical data on lipids including: the lipid composition of erythrocytes in cardiovascular and hepatobiliary disease; the correlation of dietary fat, fat composition and fatty acids on human nutrition; flax lipids; Vitamin E lipids with important antioxidant benefits; omega-3 fatty acids in neurochemistry; and others.
Preface; Lipid Composition of Erythrocytes at Cardiovascular & Hepatobiliary Diseases; Metabolism & Interaction of Fatty Acids, Antioxidants & Biological Active Substances in Animal Muscle & Consequent Quality of Animal Foods; Flax Lipids: Classes, Biosynthesis, Genetics & the Promise of Applied Genomics for Understanding & Altering of Fatty Acids; Natural Forms of Vitamin E in Breast Cancer Prevention & Treatment; Brain N-3 (Omega-3) Fatty Acids in Neurochemistry, Behavior, & Mood: Implications for the Treatment & Prevention of Non-Puerperal & Postpartum Depression; Bioactive Lipids; Cholesterol Degradation in Food: Effects of Temperature; Nisinic Acid, 24:6n-3, & other Methylene-Interrupted Very Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids; Plasma Triglycerides as Parameter in Random Mouse Mutagenesis Projects for the Generation of Novel Biomedical Animal Models; Inhibitors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase: beneficial & detrimental effects of statins & genetic polymorphism of cytochrome P450; Index.
