Description
The first edition of this book was published in 1985. The content of the 4th edition reflects the enormous advances that have occurred
since that time in the field of lipid biochemistry. This publication is unique in that it represents a bridge between the superficial
coverage of the lipid field found in basic biochemistry text books and the highly specialized material contained in scientific review
articles and monographs. The book is not a collection of exhaustive reviews, but a current and readable summary of diverse aspects of
lipids. It is intended as an advanced and up-to-date textbook for teachers and students who are familiar with the basic concepts of lipid
biochemistry and will also serve as a general reference book for scientists studying lipids, lipoproteins and membranes.
