- Lipid metabolism involves the breakdown, synthesis and absorption of lipids.
- Lipids are essential for health as they are involved in signalling pathways, hormones, cell membrane structure, energy storage, as, well as, acting as biomarkers.
- Different cell types have specific compositions of different lipids and dysregulation of lipid metabolism can cause or progress neurodegenerative, cardiovascular and liver diseases.
- The field of lipidomics involves the identification and measurement of lipids within biological systems.
- Lipid profiling and analysis using techniques like mass spectrometry or chromatography give insight into the interaction of lipids and how a change in these interactions relate to diseases.
- Lipidomics has applications in biofuel production, as well as, advancements in medicine and nootropics.
- Chemometrics and Lipid Modeling
- Spatial, functional and compositional lipid metabolism in response to environmental stressors.
