Award for Biochemical Analysis goes to scientists for the development of the high-resolution lipid profile and for the discovery of the causes of the development of vaccine-induced cerebral vein thrombosis
Mannheim, 12 October 2022 – Fats (lipids) play a major role in
the human organism, but have so far been insufficiently researched.
Lipids include, for example, cholesterol and its esters, triglycerides,
fat-soluble vitamins, hormones or waxes. In addition to DNA and
proteins, lipids represent an important class of substances in their

different lipids in the human body. Of these molecules, more than 2,000
have already been linked to human health status and disease. For
example, they have an important role in metabolic regulation: at the
cellular level to energy management and communication.
