This book comprehensively explores of the links between lipids and health. It offers an accessible background on basic lipodology and lipid measurement, including lipid/lipoprotein metabolism and the biology of atherosclerosis. It discusses medical conditions affected by lipids and lipoproteins, such as diabetes and metabolic syndromes.
