ADVANCES IN LIPID RESEARCH Vol.5

---

In this volume of Advances in Lipid Research we continue the col- lection of expert reviews on various aspects of the chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology of lipids. The biosynthesis of fatty acids has been the subject of intense research activity and the current status of this field is reviewed in the first chapter. The second chapter presents a discus- sion of the physiology of adipose tissue in which aspects of adipose tissue physiology of a number of animal species are compared. The third chapter covers, in depth, the biochemical, physiological, and morphological changes observed in ethionine-induced fatty liver. The metabolism of lipids by macrophages and the relationship of this phe- nomenon to atherosclerosis are treated in the fourth chapter. In the area of cholesterol metabolism, there has been increasing emphasis on the equilibration of the movement of this sterol, of endogenous or exogenous origin, between the blood and various tissues. One approach to the elucidation of this important question is presented in the fifth chapter. Another area of research that has been gaining increasing importance is that of brain lipid metabolism. This volume contains two chapters bearing on this field: one on the metabolism of myelin lipids and the other on factors affecting brain cholesterol. The analysis of polar lipids (phosphatides, cerebrosides) is reviewed in another chapter. The last chapter is more physicochemical in nature and re- lates to the phase diagrams of glyceride mixtures, a subject which may suggest new avenues of investigation to biologists.
