Lipid (Agroscience)

A broad spectrum of fat and fat-like compounds including mono-, di- and triglycerides, sterols, phosphatides and fatty acids.

Lipid (Beauty)

Generally, these are organic products found in living systems that are insoluble in water, like fats. Cell membranes are made of lipids. We lose lipids as we age, which is why skin becomes less supple. Broadly, it means true fats (like triglycerides), lipoids (like phospholipids) and sterols (like cholesterol).

Lipid (Cancer)

Fat.

Lipid (Cholesterol)

Another word for "fat." (Please see the various meanings of Fat .) A lipid is more formally defined as a substance such as a fat, oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates .

Lipid (Dairy Production)

Fat or fat-like substances that, as a nutritional energy source, contain 2.25 times as much energy as carbohydrates.

Lipid (Diabetes)

A term for fat. The body stores fat as energy for future use just like a car that has a reserve fuel tank. When the body needs energy, it can break down the lipids into fatty acids and burn them like glucose (sugar).The two most commonly measured kinds of lipids are triglycerides and cholesterol.

Lipid (Enzymatic Therapy)

Any fat or fatlike substance, including oils, sterols, and complex compounds such as phospholipids.

Lipid (Gaucher Disease)

A type of fat molecule. Lipids are important components of cellular membranes.

Lipid (HIV and AIDs)

Any group of fats and fatlike compounds, including sterols (eg, cholesterol), fatty acids and other substances.

Lipid (Health)

A fatty substance in the blood.

Lipid (Health and Beauty)

Generally, these are organic products found in living systems that are insoluble in water, like fats. Cell membranes are made of lipids. We lose lipids as we age, which is why skin becomes less supple. Broadly, it means true fats (like triglycerides), lipoids (like phospholipids) and sterols (like cholesterol).

Lipid (Hepatitis C)

The fats and fat-like materials which, together with carbohydrates and proteins, constitute the main structural substances in the living cell.

Lipid (Huntingtons Disease)

A family of compounds that cannot be dissolved or mixed in water. Examples of lipids include fats, phospholipids, and steroids.

Lipid (Lymphoma)

The main type of fat found in the body.

Lipid (Microbiology)

Water-insoluble organic molecules important in structure of the cytoplasmic membrane and (in some organisms) the cell wall. See also phospholipid.

Lipid (Naturopathic)

A descriptive term, rather than chemical one, for fats. Broadly, it means true fats (like triglycerides), lipoids (like phospholipids) and sterols (like cholesterol).

Lipid (Nutrition)

The chemists name for fats, oils, cholesterol, and other fatty substances. They are substances found in nature that are soluble in the same organic solvents as fats and oils are. Important nutritional lipids include choline, gamma-linolenic acid, inositol, lecithin and linoleic acid.

Lipid (Physical Geography)

Is an organic compound composed of carbon atoms that have two hydrogen atoms attached. Lipids are commonly known as fats and oils, and belong to the family of molecules known as hydrocarbons.

Lipid (Prostate Cancer)

Fat stored by the body; the two most commonly measured kinds of lipids are triglycerides and cholesterol.
