Abstract:
Lipidomics is a lipid-targeted metabolomics approach focusing on comprehensive analysis of all lipids with which they interact in biology systems. Recent technological advances in MS and chromatography have greatly enhanced the developments and applications of metabolic profiling of diverse lipids in complex biological samples. Lipidomics will not only provide insights into the specific functions of lipid species in health and disease, but will also identify potential biomarkers for establishing preventive or therapeutic programs for human disease. In this review, recent applications of lipidomics to understand animal models of disease such as metabolic syndromes, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and infectious diseases are considered. We also discuss the lipidomics for the future perspectives and their potential problems.
