This talk will be a, hopefully not too random,
walk through lipid-land from the deadly trans-fats to the miracle
lipids found in Cheez Whiz, beef, and kangaroo meat. The physical
chemistry of lipids is crucial to the food industry whereas the
biochemistry of lipids is crucial to health and disease. An
attempt will be made to identify areas in which the two concerns
meet, with emphasis on the nuclear receptor PPAR as a master
regulator of lipid effects on biological systems. The PPAR story
is a prime example of two seemingly unrelated areas of
investigation finding common ground with the subsequent leap in
understanding that accompanies such discoveries.
