Advances in Lipid Research, Volume 14 is a five-chapter text that covers other important aspects of lipid chemistry, including an enzyme controlling cholesterol biogenesis, fatty acid activation, and lipid synthesis. The first chapter concerns with the control of activity of ?-hydroxy-?-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. The second chapter deals with the specificity, localization, and function of fatty acid activation. The third chapter describes the interaction between polyene antibiotics and sterols. This chapter specifically tackles some antibiotic activity to understand membrane function and in vivo hypolipidemic activity. The fourth chapter focuses on the lipids in plant cultures, while the fifth chapter looks into the methods of synthesis of acylglycerols and phosphoglycerides. This book will prove useful to lipid chemists, biochemists, and researchers.
