Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second Special Issue devoted to examining lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. (The first Special Issue can be visited here). Several classes of lipid exist, which can function as integral components of cell membranes, supply energy to cells via oxidation, and act as mediators of cell signalling and gene expression. These lipids may be derived from diet or de novo synthesis. Many of these lipids may be carried through the bloodstream within lipoproteins, which themselves can be metabolized to supply cells and tissues with lipid metabolites for immediate use or for storage. Tissue lipids may be further metabolized into other unique metabolites, depending on the tissue and cell type; these metabolites can elicit specific functions under normal and pathological conditions.
This second Special Issue on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism welcomes original research as well as methodologies toward the identification and characterization of novel metabolites. Thorough narrative reviews will also be considered.
Dr. Robert J. Brown
Guest Editor
