Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease presents a comprehensive and systematic coverage of the various roles lipids play in human biology. This book is organized around the key roles lipids play in cellular biology, both in health and disease states. The first group of chapters is dedicated to the basic concepts of cellular lipids and the roles it plays in the cell, structure and physiology, storage, and utilization.
The next set of chapters is focused on lipid metabolism, covering the organelles involved in lipid trafficking, cholesterol homeostasis, autophagy signaling, and metabolism in aging. The final group of chapters is dedicated to roles lipids play in specific disease states including diabetes, chronic kidney disease complications, obesity, heart diseases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, colorectal cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, B cell immunity, inflammation, viral infections, and other metabolic diseases.
Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease is a complete reference targeted at graduate students and early career researchers in cell biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology. Research physicians can also benefit from the foundational content and links to pathologies and therapeutic opportunities.
