ADVANCES IN LIPID RESEARCH Vol. 6
This volume of Advances in Lipid Research gathers together a group of essays whose diversity emphasizes how widely subjects relating to lipid research may range. Because of the possibility that types of lipoidoses may be disclosed by electrophoretic patterns of serum lipoproteins, there has been a rebirth of interest in electro- phoretic analysis of serum. The first chapter in this volume is a defini- tive review of the separation of lipoproteins. Following chapters in earlier volumes of this serial publication on lipid metabolism in microorganisms, the second chapter is a discussion of lipid metab- olism in mycoplasmas. The various aspects of metabolism of the lipid quinones are covered in the third chapter. The relationship between lipids and atherosclerosis is a continuing source of bio- chemical, medical, and nutritional interest. The fourth chapter covers comparative aspects of the development of atherosclerosis. The bile acids have not been discussed previously, except as related to cholesterol metabolism. This oversight is ably corrected in the fifth chapter in which the chemistry of bile acids is discussed. The metabolism of brain hydroxy acids is the subject of the sixth chapter. This paper will augment discussions of brain cholesterol and of myelin lipids which have appeared in previous volumes. The tech- nique of gas-liquid chromatography has resulted in a quantum ad- vance in the areas of fatty acid and sterol research. The seventh chapter broadens the horizon for use of this technique in further aspects of steriod separations and also with regard to separation of other metabolites which may influence lipid metabolism.
