Techniques Used in Lipidomics Analysis
The concept of l ipidomics was proposed with the rise of genomes and proteomics research, which was proposed by Chinese scientist Han Xianlin in 2 003. Lipidomics is a com prehensive systematic analysis and identification of lipids and molecules interacting with organisms, tissues or cells, which aims at understanding the structure and function of lipids, and revealing lipid metabolism and cells, organs and even the body. It is a subject of the relationship between physiological and pathological processes. Lipid is a large class of compounds in nature that is insoluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents. It is chemically and structurally heterogeneous, mainly including fatty acids and their naturally occurring derivatives (such as esters or amines), as well as b iosynthesis and functionally related compounds. Lipid can participate in a variety of biological metabolis m, such as energy conversion, material transport, inf...
