Abstract

Lipidomics Techniques and its Applications in Medical Research

Honglei Huang, Zeeshan Akhtar M, Rutger Ploeg and Benedikt M Kessler

Lipids are diverse families of biomolecules that are involved in essential structural as well as signalling roles in biology. The analytical measurement of lipids and their identification & quantitation has become a major research area, in particular in biomedical science as many human pathologies are associated with lipid metabolism disorders. This review provides a brief overview over experimental workflows of lipid isolation and mass spectrometry based detection methods robust enough to study lipid profiles in a clinical context.
