Highlights from the Lipid Analysis Literature - latest Month
The following references were collected in a weekly literature search that reflects my (former) personal research interests, although most mainstream lipid analytical topics are covered. Among the exceptions are "steroidal hormones", "prostanoids", "fat-soluble vitamins" and "terpenoids", although some papers in these categories may be posted. My intention is to list only those papers that exhibit novel analytical methodology as opposed to tried and tested methods, although this may appear to introduce a bias towards modern mass spectrometry techniques, and the titles of more than 1500 references are scanned each month to make the selection. 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.
