Synopsis
Lipids are essential components of every living cell and a study of them is important for all students of biochemistry, nutrition, food science and medicine. This fourth edition has been completely rewritten and restructured to reflect recent advances and to highlight lipid biochemistry and nutrition, health and disease in Man, focusing on the functions of lipids rather than their chemical structure. A broad range of material is presented in a well-illustrated, extensively cross-referenced and accessible format.
