This book intends to provide an update on fatty acid research, their methods of detection, quantification, and related diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The book provides a brief overview of both highly explored as well as overlooked perspectives of fatty acids, while highlighting its significance as a biochemical molecule, which is imperative to the livelihood of unicellular and multi-cellular organisms alike.

This volume discusses how fatty acids are associated with various diseases and health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders. This book covers biosynthesis and processing of fatty acids, which address human health and environmental concerns.

The purpose of this book is to concentrate on recent developments on fatty acids. This volume offers you up-to-date, expert reviews of the fast-moving field of fatty acids.

The impact of fat intake on hypercholesterolemia and related atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases has been studied for decades. However, the current evidence base suggests that fatty acids also influences cardiometabolic diseases through other mechanisms including effects on glucose metabolism, body fat distribution, blood pressure, inflammation, and heart rate.
