Chronology of Lipid Science and Disorders with Reference to Recent Advancement in its Management: A Review

Mohammad Anas, Tanzeel Ahmad, Mohd. Anwar, Jamal Azmat

Abstract


The study of modern lipid began in the 17th and 18th centuries. The 19th century chemist, Chevreul, identified several fatty acids, suggested the name ‘cholesterine’ for the fatty substance in gallstones, coined the word ‘glycerine’, and showed that fats were comprised of glycerol and fatty acids. The 20th century brought many advances in the understanding of lipoprotein structure and function, and explored relationships between lipoproteins and disease states. It has been long known that lipid abnormalities are major risk factors for coronary artery diseases. The lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds, including fats, oils, steroids, waxes and related compounds that are related more by their physical than by their chemical properties. Lipids are important dietary constituents not only because of their high energy value, but also because of the fat-soluble vitamins and the essential fatty acids contained in the fat of natural foods. This paper is aimed at to arrange a chronology of lipid science with recent advancement.

Keywords
