  Definition: Lipids are a broad group of naturally-occurring molecules which includes fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others.
  The whole of lipids is the lipidome.
  Lipids are broadly defined as any fat-soluble (lipophilic), naturally-occurring molecule. Lipids are usually defined as hydrophobic or amphipathic biological molecules that will dissolve in organic solvents such as benzene or (...)

  Definition: Cytosine is a pyrimidine base (nitrogenous base) and constituent of nucleotides and as such one member of the base pair G-C (guanine and cytosine).
  Cytosine is one of the 5 main nucleobases used in storing and transporting genetic information within a cell in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA.
  Cytosine is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached (an amine group at position 4 and a keto group at position 2).
  The nucleoside of (...)

• galactose
  25 November 2003

  Galactose (Gal) (also called brain sugar) is a type of sugar which is less sweet than glucose. It is considered a nutritive sweetener because it has food energy.
  Galactan is a polymer of the sugar galactose. It is found in hemicellulose and can be converted to galactose by hydrolysis. Galactose solubility in water is 68.30 grams per 100 grams of water at 20–25° C.
  It is found in dairy products, in sugar beets and other gums and mucilages.
  It is also synthesized by the body, where it forms (...)

• lysophosphatidic acid
  31 May 2004

  The bioactive phospholipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulates cell proliferation, migration and survival by acting on its cognate G-protein-coupled receptors.
  Aberrant LPA production, receptor expression and signalling probably contribute to cancer initiation, progression and metastasis.
