This book is the first to be published as a single source reference on phosphatidylcholine metabolism. It provides a cogent and timely summary of research in this topic.
Beginning with a chapter by Eugene Kennedy providing an historical perspective; the book proceeds to describe the latest developments in enzymes involved in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Biological chemists, students, and investigators in the field of lipid metabolism will find this book of great benefit in their research.

This is the third edition of this advanced textbook, written with two major objectives in mind. One is to provide an advanced textbook covering the major areas in the fields of lipid, lipoprotein, and membrane biochemistry, and molecular biology. The second objective is to provide a clear summary of these research areas for scientists presently working in these fields.

The volume provides the basis for an advanced course for students in the biochemistry of lipids, lipoproteins and membranes. The book will satisfy the need for a general reference and review book for scientists studying...
