Lipid Metabolism Assays

Lipid metabolism is the process by which fats are broken down and used by the body to generate energy or to synthesise new structural and functional lipids. Lipid metabolism is a complex and tightly regulated process that is necessary for maintaining health and preventing disease. Lipids are an essential part of the diet and are required for a number of crucial functions in the body. Lipid metabolism occurs in a number of different ways, depending on the type of lipid being metabolised such as cholesterol, phospholipids etc.
