Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease (EPUB)

Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease: A Comprehensive Guide

Written by renowned author James Mukasa Ntambi, this book provides an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted roles of lipids in human biology, covering their impact on health and disease.

Comprehensive Coverage of Lipid Biology

This extensive guide is structured into four parts, meticulously covering the foundational concepts of lipid biology, lipid metabolism, lipids in disease states, and therapeutic opportunities. The book delves into the basic concepts of cellular lipid, including its roles in cell structure and physiology, regulation mechanisms, storage, and utilization.

Lipid Metabolism and Its Implications

The second part of the book focuses on lipid metabolism, examining the organelles involved in lipid trafficking, metabolism in aging, cholesterol homeostasis, lipid droplets, and lipid oxidation. This section provides valuable insights into the intricate processes that govern lipid metabolism and its effects on the human body.

Lipids in Disease States: A Detailed Examination

Part three of the book is dedicated to the roles lipids play in specific disease states, including renal disease, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. The book also explores the complex relationship between cellular lipids and autophagy.

Therapeutic Opportunities and Future Directions

The final part of the book covers the therapeutic opportunities presented by lipids, including drug carrier systems, modeling lipid metabolism, and prevention therapeutics. This section provides a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to develop novel treatments and interventions.
