Published: May 2003

The authors present an introduction to the basics of lipid metabolism including an overview of the structure and function of lipoproteins and a description of the pathways of lipid metabolism. Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor in the context of cardiovascular disease, and appropriate intervention can have a significant impact on clinical outcomes. The information presented herein will help to provide a foundation of knowledge on which to base the assessment and treatment of dyslipidemic patients. A better understanding of lipid metabolism will help health care professionals to provide better care in the realm of dyslipidemia management.
