Human blood is a self-regenerating lipid-rich biological fluid that is routinely collected in
hospital settings. The inventory of lipid molecules found in blood plasma (plasma lipidome)
offers insights into individual metabolism and physiology in health and disease.
Disturbances in the plasma lipidome also occur in conditions that are not directly linked to
lipid metabolism; therefore, plasma lipidomics based on MS is an emerging tool in an array
of clinical diagnostics and disease management. However, challenges exist in the …
