This book teaches the reader how to apply the principles of mass spectrometry to the analysis of lipids, and extend that information to the emerging fields of metabolomics and systems biology.


∗ Focuses on the analysis of lipids, perhaps the most abundant and important class of metabolites.


∗ Describes the modern methods of mass spectrometry analysis for the various classes of lipids


∗ Discusses how mass spectra can be used to identify and quantify lipids.


∗ Places the subject of lipid mass spectrometry into the more general contexts of metabolomics and systems biology.


∗ Shows that understanding how lipids are metabolized can lead to a better understanding of various states of health and disease in a cell, tissue, or organism.
