Reviews

“The multicountry authors of this volume review present knowledge on the multiple basic roles of cholesterol in the living body. Each chapter details the methods of studies performed, backed by many references. For biologists, physiologists, biochemists.” (Zvi Laron, Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 15 (1), September, 2017)
