Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on lipid metabolism and its relationship to cardiovascular disease. It covers topics such as cholesterol levels (HDL-C, LDL-C), lipoprotein metabolism (Lp(a), TRLs), genetic factors influencing lipid traits (familial hypercholesterolemia, polygenic risk scores), and therapeutic interventions including RNAi therapies and ANGPTL3 inhibition. The scope also extends to the role of inflammation and endothelial cell function in atherosclerosis, and the impact of diet and metabolic states on lipid profiles.
