  2. Lipid profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_profile

    A lipid profile or lipid panel is a panel of blood tests used to find abnormalities in blood lipid ( such as cholesterol and triglycerides) concentrations. [not verified in body] The results of this test can identify certain genetic diseases and can determine approximate risks for cardiovascular disease, certain forms of pancreatitis, and other diseases.

    Lipid name Chemical name α-Linolenic acid (ALA) 18:3 (n−3) octadeca-9,12,15-trienoic acid Stearidonic acid (SDA) 18:4 (n−3) octadeca-6,9,12,15-tetraenoic acid Eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA) 20:4 (n−3) eicosa-8,11,14,17-tetraenoic acid Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 20:5 (n−3) eicosa-5,8,11,14,17-pentaenoic acid Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) 22 ...

  4. Lipidology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipidology

    The surface of a curved lipid bilayer. Lipidology is the scientific study of lipids. Lipids are a group of biological macromolecules that have a multitude of functions in the body. [1] [2] [3] Clinical studies on lipid metabolism in the body have led to developments in therapeutic lipidology for disorders such as cardiovascular disease. [4]

  5. List of cholesterol in foods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cholesterol_in_Foods

    The human body makes one-eighth to one-fourth teaspoons of pure cholesterol daily. A cholesterol level of 5.5 millimoles per litre or below is recommended for an adult. The rise of cholesterol in the body can give a condition in which excessive cholesterol is deposited in artery walls called atherosclerosis. This condition blocks the blood flow ...

  6. Lipidomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipidomics

    Examples of various lipid species. Lipidomics is the large-scale study of pathways and networks of cellular lipids in biological systems. [1] [2] [3] The word "lipidome" is used to describe the complete lipid profile within a cell, tissue, organism, or ecosystem and is a subset of the "metabolome" which also includes other major classes of biological molecules (such as amino acids, sugars ...

  7. Blood lipids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_lipids

    Examples of these lipids include cholesterol and triglycerides. The concentration of blood lipids depends on intake and excretion from the intestine, and uptake and secretion from cells. Hyperlipidemia is the presence of elevated or abnormal levels of lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood, and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

  8. Phospholipid-derived fatty acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid-derived_fatty...

    Phospholipids are the primary lipids composing cellular membranes. Phospholipids can be saponified, which releases the fatty acids contained in their diglyceride tail. Once the phospholipids of an unknown sample are saponified, the composition of the resulting PLFA can be compared to the PLFA of known organisms to determine the identity of the ...

  9. Membrane lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_lipid

    Cell membranes require high levels of cholesterol – typically an average of 20% cholesterol in the whole membrane, increasing locally in raft areas up to 50% cholesterol (- % is molecular ratio). [6] It associates preferentially with sphingolipids (see diagram) in cholesterol-rich lipid rafts areas of the membranes in eukaryotic cells. [7]
