Molecular aspects of human lipid metabolism
Article Abstract:
The discovery of metabolic disorders associated with atherosclerosis has led to the further study of human lipid metabolism at the molecular and genetic level. Genetic disorders such as hypobetalipoproteinaemia, familial defective apo B-100, type III hyperlipoproteinemia and familial hypercholesterolaemia were discussed from the molecular perspective and the possibilities for molecular regulation of cholestrol metabolism were explored. The physiological correlation with molecular principles is essential to understanding lipid metabolism.

Body fatness in active individuals reporting low lipid and alcoholic intake
Article Abstract:
Low intake of lipids and alcohol, and an active lifestyle performing physical exercises, lower the subcutaneous adipose level. Data obtained from the evaluation of the body fat on male subjects, not associated to common public health guidelines, reveals positive comparisons between low lipid intake and a low level of adiposity; particularly in central subcutaneous areas.

Skeletal muscle protein mass correlates with lipid status in children with solid tumors and before bone marrow transplantation
Article Abstract:
The changes in lipid status in children during anticancer therapy were evaluated at the Hospital for Children and Adolescents, University of Helsinki, Finland. It was found that abnormalities of lipid status in children with cancer are linked to changes in skeletal muscle protein reserves.
