Riassunto

This well-known and highly successful book was first published in 1973 and has been completely re-written in subsequent editions (published in 1982 and 2003). This new Fourth Edition has become necessary due to the rapid pace of developments in mass spectrometry of intact lipids, which has given recognition of lipid analysis and "lipidomics" as a distinct science. To bring the book up to date with these developments, author William W. Christie is joined by co-author Xianlin Han, a leading expert in the field of lipidology. Although devoting considerable space to mass spectrometry and lipidomics, Lipid analysis remains a practical one volume guide to the complexities of the analysis of lipids.

The authors deal with the isolation, separation, identification and structural analysis of glycerolipids, including triacylglycerols, phospholipids, sphingolipids and their various hydrolysis products. The chapters follow a logical sequence from the extraction of lipids to the isolation and characterization of particular lipid classes and of molecular species of each, and to the mass spectrometric analysis of lipids and lipidomics.

Informazioni sull'autore

William W. Christie is the former Head of the Chemistry Department / Phytochemistry Unit at the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI). Dr. Christie is also the co-founder of Mylnefield Lipid Analysis, a leading international laboratory for the specialist analysis of oils and fats based in Scotland.

Xianlin Han is Professor at Sanford-Bornham Medical Research Center, US. His research interests involve identifying the biochemical mechanisms underlying the altered lipid metabolism, trafficking, and homeostasis under pathological/physiological conditions by using a lipidomics approach. He is one of the pioneers in the field of lipidomics.
