Recent topics of lipid research
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2012, Vol 35, Issue 2
Abstract
In this issue, we include three feature articles related to recent lipid research. The first review article describes lipophorin, a lipid-protein complex in insects. Lipophorin is comparable to the lipoprotein in humans. The second review summarizes bioactive lipids, especially fatty acids. The relationship between these lipids and a metabolic syndrome is also discussed. The third review discusses the methods used to measure oxysterols in human serum. Oxysterols are generated either enzymatically or non-enzymatically, and some are believed to promote atherosclerosis. We trust that these articles will provide useful information to the researchers in this field.

Lipophorin: lipid-transfer protein in insect blood
Lipophorin is one of the major lipoproteins in insect blood. It contributes to the transportation of several lipid classes. Its particle weight is about 600 k with two apolipoproteins, apoLp-Ⅰ and -Ⅱ (MW=250 k and 80 k,...
