About the journal
Progress in Lipid Research
The importance of lipids as one of the fundamental classes of biological compounds is well established. The application of our knowledge of the biochemistry, chemistry and physiology of lipids to biotechnology, the fats and oils industry and medicine have continued to expand apace. In addition new dimensions such as lipid biophysics, especially with relevance to membranes and lipoproteins, and basic liposome research and applications have been added. To cope with all these advances in knowledge a journal is needed to review recent progress in particular fields and to set current research against its historical background. Progress in Lipid Research fulfils this role. 
Each volume contains up-to-date surveys of special aspects of lipid research. The reviews are comprehensive enough to provide sufficient overview but concentrate on reporting and critically appraising the most recent data. Subjects are chosen for their timeliness or because major developments have taken place in the last few years. They include methodological reviews as well as chemical, biochemical and medical articles. All lipid compounds and derivatives are covered, ranging from fatty acids and other simple molecules, through steroids, terpenoids and phospho- or glycolipids to complex structures such as lipoproteins and biological membranes. We hope that those whose main interest is in lipid biophysics and liposome research will join as new readers, benefiting from the journal's classical aspects of lipid metabolism, lipids in signal transduction and lipid enzymology, and that current readers will benefit from the exposure to top quality research on the new aspects.

Instructions to Authors
The purpose of this series of volumes is to present invited informative and critical reviews of recent advances in various aspects of research on fats and other lipids. One of the editor's tasks will be to select those subjects in which sufficient advance has been made to warrant review, and to choose the authors. The editor welcomes suggestions of topics and potential authors.
It is the author's responsibility to treat their subject matter in such a manner that those who are not experts in the field will comprehend the subject, yet so that the treatment will be authoritative. The author is expected to give a balanced picture of the field, and to discuss critically the work of the several schools active in the field. He is chosen because of his knowledge of the subject and, therefore, it is proper that he include recent work from his own laboratory. He is also encouraged to illustrate his paper with illustrations taken from important contributions to the field. Upon acceptance of the invitation to prepare a manuscript, the author is asked to submit a tentative title and outline of the prospective article. This will help prevent duplication of subject matter in related chapters, and permit consultation between authors. Authors are requested to consult the previous volumes of the series to ascertain that proposed subject matter does not actually duplicate something already presented.
Manuscripts are to be submitted to the editor in duplicate, double spaced typing with ample margins. Formulae should be carefully typed in the text. Only one set of figures, graphs or diagrams are required but a duplicate set is desirable. Authors should designate in the text where tables and figures should appear, but the tables and figures should be collected after the references.
Abstracts: Each contribution should be accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 200 words.
Graphs and drawn diagrams should be larger than they will appear in print, but need not be prepared ready for reproduction because they can be redrawn to conform with our house style. Photographs should be glossy prints of good contrast, and larger than they are to appear in the text. Lettering must be large enough to allow for reduction. It is most important that a brief caption be provided for each diagram and that due acknowledgement be given in cases where the illustration is taken from a previous publication. Reproduction in colour will have to be approved by the Editors. The extra costs of colour reproduction will be charged to the author(s).
Where non-metric units are employed, the metric equivalents should also be given or, at least, the dimensionally correct conversion factors as a footnote. Confusion between metric absolute and metric gravitational quantities must be avoided.
Cross headings are recommended in order to break up the text. They should be in the system illustrated by the following:
2. Synthesis of branched chain fatty acids
(Major divisions, placed at margin, in bold)
2.1. Optically inactive acids
(Major subdivisions, placed at margin, in italics)
2.1.1. Acids containing one tertiary carbon atom
(Subdivisions, placed at margin, in italics)
The paper's outline should precede it as a table of contents.
References should be listed at the end of the text and numbered, and inclusive page numbers should be given. The references should be stated in conformity with our house style, thus:
[1] Kates M. In: Kates M, editor. Handbook of lipid research. New York and London: Plenum Press, 1990:11-22.
[2] Dembitsky VM. Prog Lipid Res 1993;32:281-356.
Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the "Bibliographic Guide for Editors and Authors" compiled by Biosciences Information Service of Biological Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts Service and Engineering Index, Inc. Surnames should not be accompanied by initials in the text of the article unless it is necessary to avoid confusion, but it is essential that they should be accompanied by initials in the references. Authors should carefully check that each reference is cited in the text.
Abbreviations such as N.P.L. for the National Physical Laboratory or NEFA for non-esterified fatty acid, may be used. However, on first mention, full titles or terms must be used, with abbreviations in parentheses. The use of the same symbol for more than one purpose is confusing and must be avoided.
Authors are requested to return the corrected page proofs with a minimum of delay to Elsevier Ltd, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, EX1 2AH, UK. Authors will be issued with a contract by the Publisher which will indicate the extent of the manuscript and the submission date as agreed with the Editor. A fee will be paid to the authors on publication of their article and they will receive 25 complimentary copies of their contribution and the opportunity to purchase a limited number of reprints in addition.
If the article is available on disk, this should be supplied with the manuscript. The preferred storage medium is a 51/4 or 31/2 inch disk in MS-DOS or MS-DOS compatible format although other systems e.g. Macintosh, are acceptable. The disk and an exactly matching printed version should be submitted together to the accepting editor. Illustrations and tables will be handled conventionally. Please label the disk with your name, the software and hardware used, the journal title and the name of the file to be processed.
Authors can keep a track on the progress of their accepted article, and set up e-mail alerts informing them of changes to their manuscript's status, by using the "Track a Paper" feature of Elsevier's Author Gateway
