This sixth edition of “Lipids” reflects the integration of biological and medical sciences, recognizing the convergence of disciplines and the pivotal role lipids play in various scientific fields. Maintaining its primary goals to inform students and researchers about lipids while supporting teachers and encouraging further research, this book has been significantly revised with contributions from two new authors. New content covers advancements in lipid metabolism genes, diverse signaling lipids, their impact on health and disease, and emerging biotechnological applications for agriculture and industry.

An introductory chapter outlines the various types of lipids, methods of identification, and provides a roadmap to the book’s contents. Each chapter includes boxed sections detailing specific topics, key point summaries, and recommendations for further reading, enhancing both understanding and practical application.
