This new volume in the Advance8 in Lipid Re8earch series contains nine many faceted contributions concerned with acyl carrier protein and transacylation reactions in fatty acid biosynthesis (P. W. Majerus and R. W. Vagelos); triglyceride and glucose metabolism in adipose tissue (D. Rudman and M. Di Girolamo); ethionine fatty liver (Emmanuel Farber); macrophage lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis (Allen Day); cholesterol dynamics in the isotopic steady state (F. Chevalier); myelin lipid metabolism (Marion Edmonds Smith); brain cholesterol (J. J. Kabara); analysis and separation of molecular species of phospholipids (0. Renkonen); phase diagrams of triglyceride systems (J. B. Rossell). Although all of these reviews are most valuable contributions to the literature on lipid metabolism, those on adipose tissue, fatty liver, atherosclerosis, znyelin metabolism and brain cholesterol are perhaps most likely to interest readers of this
