Overview
INTRODUCTION
Lipids are a diverse group of biomolecules that play essential roles in the human body, including energy storage, insulation, and the formation of cell membranes. They include fats, oils, phospholipids, and sterols such as cholesterol. While certain lipids are vital for normal body function, imbalances—particularly high levels of saturated fats and LDL cholesterol—have been linked to cardiovascular disease and other health conditions. Understanding the types and functions of lipids is key to maintaining overall health.
