Abstract:

It is widely recognised that post-prandial lipoproteins play a role in the development of atherosclerosis, but the mechanisms underlying this role are unclear. An attractive working hypothesis is that the pathogenetic link is endothelial dysfunction. The available data seem to corroborate this theory and recognise triggering by oxidative stress, but some of the evidence is still contradictory.

Lipid-derived Compounds in the Human Body

Fats and lipids are crucial components in the human body. Some lipid-derived compounds, such as fat-soluble vitamins, eicosanoids, lipoproteins, and glycolipids, also play unique roles to support various biological processes .
Fat-soluble Vitamins
Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, are required in minimal quantities, but their deficiencies can lead to severely abnormal physiological conditions. For example, vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness, dry skin, delayed...
