Structural and Mediator Lipidomics: A Functional View

Lipidomics forms part of the field of metabolomics, which in turn follows on from genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, in a top-down manner. It is the study of hydrophobic molecules called lipids; however, lipid molecular species are so numerous that investigators tend to subdivide global lipidomics into targeted lipidomic approaches.This book focuses on structural and mediator lipidomics, with a particular emphasis on their functional aspects. This includes lipids deserving of specia...
