Lipid

This book examines lipid peroxidation as a current and future biomarker of oxidative stress.

This book presents systematic and comprehensive reviews on free radicals and their involvement in lipid peroxidation with special emphasis on their important role in different diseases.

This book provides a thorough overview of the latest research efforts by international authors on lipid metabolism, and opens new possible research paths for further novel developments.

This volume gives a comprehensive insight into established and novel methods to analyze the structure and function of lipid rafts. This book covers topics such as isolation of lipid rafts and their functional analysis using biochemical methods; visualization of lipid rafts and their interaction with proteins using fluorescence-related methods; preparation of giant lipid vesicles and fluorescence spectroscopy; FRET and FRAP; and using photo-activated cross-linking of a ceramide analog combined with proximity ligation assay.

This book focuses on the developments in the field of lipid analysis, providing an up-to-date review of the analytical techniques available to chemists and technologists to identify complex molecules. The requisite theoretical background will be provided for individual techniques, together with their strengths and weaknesses, and a guide to the enormous range of commercial applications. It will be an invaluable reference source to all sectors of the oils and fats industry where accurate labeling of foods, food contamination and adulteration are issues of increasing interest and concern.

This book assembles concisely written chapters by world-leaders in the field summarizing recent advances in understanding microbial responses to hydrocarbons. Subjects treated include mechanisms of sensing, hydrocarbon tolerance and degradation as well as an overview on hydrophobic modification of biomolecules. Other chapters are dedicated to issues related to the reduced bioavailability of hydrocarbons, which differentiates this class of compounds form many others, but which of central importance to understand the ecophysiological consequences.

This volume offers you up-to-date, expert reviews of the fast-moving field of Lipid Peroxidation. The purpose of this book is to concentrate on recent developments on lipid peroxidation. The articles collected in this book are contributions by invited researchers with a long-standing experience in different research areas. The material presented here is understandable to a broad audience, not only scientists but also people with general background in many different biological sciences.
