Lipid disorders are highly heterogeneous and widely prevalent throughout the world. Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for atherosclerotic disease and its clinical sequelae, including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and death. The impact of dyslipidemia treatment on risk for cardiovascular disease is one of the most intensively studied issues in all of medicine. This volume is an ...

1 In choosing a topic on which to conduct our senior research as members of the LaGrange College Department of Chemistry, we established a set of criteria against which each possible topic was evaluated. First, we sought topics on which we had little to no prior knowledge so that our time spent engaged in research would be both interesting and enlightening. Secondly, we looked for topics which ...
