Bioactive Lipids in Health and Disease

The purpose of this book is to introduce the readers on the perspective of the role that unsaturated fatty acids and complex lipids play on health and disease. Bioactive lipids can be modified affecting membrane composition, structure and fluidity in addi

Preface

Lipids exert key biologically relevant activities in cells and tissues, being part of cell signaling pathways in both health and disease. It is required a better understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying the role that enzymatic- and nonenzymatic-derived lipids have in pathophysiological processes as well their association to drug development. The lack of lipid involvement treatments for inf
