Lipid Essentials Literature - Highlights - 2026
This list was created by means of a weekly literature search with a highly subjective scan to select those papers that appeared helpful to me for updating the Lipid Essentials or Blog pages on this site. They are mainly review articles dealing with the chemistry, occurrence and biochemistry of lipids, and the nutritional/clinical literature is under-represented here. Please note that I may only select references from journals to which I have direct access, or will have access after a period specified by the journal (usually 6 to 24 months). Some papers in press may be listed here without the full citation, but the DOI address should still be valid, and they may be updated later. References are listed alphabetically by the first author.
New references are added at approximately monthly intervals by merging with the existing references. The most recent references of all will be found in the web page - "this month's references".
