ADVANCES IN LIPID RESEARCH Vol.1

---

Lipid research is a many-faceted field. It ranges widely between chemistry and biology. This is to be expected since the lipids themselves are a widely disparate group of substances grouped together mainly through solubility characteristics.

In recent years the broadening of interest in many aspects of lipid research has brought many new workers into this field. It is patently im- possible for any person to maintain an interest in the entire area of study. This situation is due not only to a lack of sufficient time for the extensive reading necessary, but also to the obstacles imposed by the difficulty of evaluating results obtained by unfamiliar techniques. However, new insights may be obtained into one's own work by reading concise, critical expositions of advances in areas of tangential interest. This series has been brought into being with the idea that it may serve as an instrument for cross-fertilization within the broad area of lipid research.

It is our purpose to bring together a series of chapters written by recognized authorities in the various subclassifications within the area of lipid research. The volumes will be interdisciplinary, as is lipid research itself. We encourage reports that are critical evaluations of specific subjects, speculation, or work-in-progress. These can be of greater value than general summaries. We hope that this and subsequent volumes in this series will stimulate scientists familiar with the topics under discussion and instruct those who are not.

The material covered in the first volume of this series ranges from chemical and physicochemical discussions of the structure and behavior of lipids through one of the newer areas in lipid research, sulfolipids. The most recent work on fat absorption and transport is presented by experts in the various special phases of this work. Other chapters cover the latest developments in cholesterol metabolism, Vitamin E as it affects lipid metabolism, and a treatment on atherosclerosis. All areas of lipid research ranging from physical chemistry to physiology and pathology are touched upon in this volume
