Background: Lipids are major cell membrane components essential for various biological functions including cell growth and division of normal and malignant tissues. Low lipid values in cancer, precancer lesion and condition may be because of lipid peroxidation as there is greater utilization of lipids including total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) for new membrane biogenesis. Cells fulfill these requirements either from circulation or by synthesis through the metabolism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
