Description
This is the third edition of this advanced textbook, written with two major objectives in mind. One is to provide an advanced textbook
covering the major areas in the fields of lipid, lipoprotein, and membrane biochemistry, and molecular biology. The second objective
is to provide a clear summary of these research areas for scientists presently working in these fields.
The volume provides the basis
for an advanced course for students in the biochemistry of lipids, lipoproteins and membranes. The book will satisfy the need for a general
reference and review book for scientists studying lipids, proteins and membranes. Excellent up-to-date reviews are available on the various
topics covered. A current, readable, and critical summary of these areas of research, it will allow scientists to become familiar with
recent developments related to their own research interests, and will help clinical researchers and medical students keep abreast of
developments in basic science that are important for subsequent clinical advances.
Contents
Preface. List of contributors. Chapter 1. Physical properties and functional roles of lipids in membranes (P.R. Cullis, D.B. Fenske, M.J.
Hope). 2. Lipid metabolism in prokaryotes (C.O. Rock, S. Jackowski, J.E. Cronan, Jr.). 3. Oxidation of fatty acids (H. Schulz). 4. Fatty
acid synthesis in eukaryotes (L.M. Salati, A.G. Goodridge). 5. Fatty acid desaturation and chain elongation in eukaryotes (H.W. Cook).
6. Glycerolipid biosynthesis in eukaryotes (D.E. Vance). 7. Ether-linked lipids and their bioactive species: occurrence, chemistry, metabolism,
regulation, and function (F. Snyder). 8. Phospholipases (M. Waite). 9. Glycerolipids in signal transduction (J.D. Lambeth, S.H. Ryu).
10. Adipose tissue and lipid metabolism (D.A. Bernlohr, M.A. Simpson). 11. The eicosanoids: cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and epoxygenase
pathways (W.L. Smith, F.A. Fitzpatrick). 12. Sphingolipid: metabolism and cell signalling (A.H. Merrill, Jr, C.C. Sweeley). 13. Isoprenoids,
sterols and bile acids (P.A. Edwards, R. Davis). 14. Lipid metabolism in plants (K.M. Schmid, J.B. Ohrlogge). 15. Lipid assembley into
cell membranes (D.R. Voelker). 16. Assembley of proteins into membranes (R.A.F. Reithmeir). 17. Structure, assembley and secretion of
lipoproteins (R.A. Davis, J.E. Vance). 18. Dynamics of lipoprotein transport in the human circulatory system (P.E. Fielding, C.J. Fielding).
19. Removal of lipoproteins from plasma (W.J. Schneider).
