Lipids: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Health
$135.00
Fats and lipids are essential components of the homeostatic function of the human body. Lipids contribute to some of the body’s most vital processes. Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in polar solvents such as water. Lipids include Fats and oils (triglycerides); Phospholipids; Waxes; and Steroids. The book has been modified from Lipid Biochemistry to Lipids to acknowledge the coming together of biological and medical sciences, the increasingly blurred boundaries between them, and the growing importance of lipids in diverse aspects of science and technology. The principal aims of this new book- to inform students and researchers about lipids, to assist teachers, and encourage further research – have not changed since the previous editions.
