An overview of lipidomics utilizing cadaver derived biological samples.

Introduction: We present lipidomic studies that have utilized cadaveric biological samples, including tissues and bodily fluids (excluding blood or serum). Analyses of lipids from cadaveric-derived tissues play vital roles in many different fields, such as in anthropogeny to understand food habits of ancient people, in forensics for postmortem analyses, and in biomedical research to study human diseases.

Areas Covered: The goal of the review is to demonstrate how cadavers can be utilized for study of lipidome to get biological insight in different fields.
