Lipid Health and Nutrition
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Lipids play diverse roles in the normal functioning of the body:
they serve as the structural building material of all membranes of cells and organelles
they provide energy for living organisms - providing more than twice the energy content compared with carbohydrates and proteins on a weight basis
they function as molecular messengers and signalling molecules in the body
