Overview

Lipids are a type of biological molecules that are important for sustaining life. They are made up of long-chain fatty acids and glycerol. Lipids are essential components of all living organisms, serving as energy sources, structural components of cell membranes, and serving as important regulators of cellular processes. They are also responsible for storing energy in the form of fat, providing insulation and cushioning, and providing hormones and vitamins. Lipids are central to a healthy diet and are found in a variety of sources including plant and animal sources, as well as dietary supplements. By controlling metabolism and cell signaling, lipids play a key role in maintaining the body's essential functions.
