Lipid metabolism regulates the synthesis, breakdown, and storage of fats, which are essential for energy and structural functions in cells. Disruptions in lipid metabolism can lead to conditions like atherosclerosis, fatty liver, and obesity. This book provides an in-depth exploration of lipid metabolic pathways and their clinical implications. It discusses genetic and lifestyle factors influencing lipid disorders and therapeutic options, such as statins and dietary interventions. The text integrates molecular insights with clinical case studies to help readers understand diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Grayson Diaz is a biochemist specializing in lipid metabolism and its role in health and disease. His research examines how the body processes fats and how disturbances in lipid pathways contribute to conditions like cardiovascular disease and obesity. Grayson has contributed to the understanding of lipid-related metabolic disorders. His work explores the biochemical mechanisms of lipid storage, transport, and utilization. Grayson’s research plays a crucial role in developing therapies for lipid-related diseases.
