Derived from the Finnish words lipidi (lipid) and rikasta (rich), the expression is used in biochemistry, physiology, and nutrition to indicate substantial lipid presence that affects structure, metabolism, or energy storage.
In biology, lipid-rich tissues and structures include adipose tissue, which stores fat as triacylglycerols, and myelin,
Measuring lipid richness involves several methods. Lipids can be extracted from samples using solvent-based techniques (for
