ABSTRACT

Phospholipids are involved in many intrinsic applications within the cell and are part of all major tissue and concentrated in vital organs that require neuronal interactions. This book contains the program presented at the 8th International Congress of ILPS and includes sessions covering phospholipids metabolism in brain function, choline and galactosphingolipids in health and disease, phospholipids in cardiovascular, liver, and muscle health, and finally, phospholipids in infant nutrition. This book, which contains these current research activities and updates, should stimulate the scientific community to continue working on phospholipids in biochemistry and nutrition.
