That a relation exists between lipids/lipoproteins and coronary
artery disease is no longer an arguable point. However, the
complexities associated with this relationship, and the number of
factors that can impact and alter circumstances and clinical
status, are many and diverse. Consequently, this relationship
continues to receive a great deal of focus from researchers. Lipid
Metabolism and Health, in presenting the latest statement from
those positioned on the cutting edge in this arena, provides an
overview and historical perspective of the evolution of serum
lipids and lipoproteins. It traces their development from a mere
curiosity to their acceptance as an established and major coronary
artery disease (CAD) risk factor, and, ultimately, to their
becoming the subject of clinical guidelines. Considerable attention
is focused on the fundamentals, beginning with a chapter on basic
lipidology, and progresses through such topics as lipid/lipoprotein
metabolism, and the biology of atherosclerosis. Additional topics
include methodologies for measuring lipoproteins, clinical
strategies used to manage unhealthy lipid levels, and discussion of
important influential factors such as obesity, diabetes and
metabolic syndrome, diet/nutrition, exercise, cigarette smoking and
environmental tobacco smoke, and age, as well as gender, race, and
other heredity factors. Qualified and recognized experts in their
specific fields of study were recruited by the editors to
contribute chapters. They include top researchers in, nutrition,
pharmacology, exercise science, and several areas of clinical
medicine including cardiology, kinesiology, and immunology. Lipid
Metabolism and Health provides a useful scientific and educational
tool for researchers, clinicians, academicians, and students
seeking a timely and bona fide source of information on the
relationship between lipids and health.
