Lipids are a diverse group of biomolecules that play essential roles in cellular structure, energy storage, and signaling. They include fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols, and many other compounds, each with unique functions and properties. Lipids are fundamental components of cell membranes, contributing to membrane fluidity and permeability, and they serve as precursors for bioactive molecules involved in various physiological processes.

Lipid metabolism encompasses the complex pathways through which lipids are synthesized, modified, transported, and degraded within the body. This intricate network involves numerous enzymes and regulatory proteins that ensure the proper balance of lipid synthesis and breakdown. Key processes in lipid metabolism include fatty acid oxidation, triglyceride storage and mobilization, phospholipid remodeling, and cholesterol biosynthesis and regulation. Enzymes such as lipases, desaturases, and transferases, along with regulatory proteins like peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), play critical roles in these metabolic pathways. Studying lipid metabolism is crucial for understanding various metabolic diseases and conditions, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and lipid storage disorders.
At MtoZ Biolabs, our Lipid Metabolism Service employs liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) platforms. These techniques allow us to identify and quantify a broad spectrum of lipid species with high sensitivity and reproducibility. Our bioinformatics experts further analyze the data, providing comprehensive insights into the lipid metabolic pathways.
