The book consists of 11 chapters all written by leading scientists from well-reputed laboratories in the USA. After an introduction by Dr. Godfrey Getz, Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago and the Associate Editor of the Journal Lipid Research, the book presents a narration of how a theory can lead to the discovery o Analysis biochemie biochemistry geneeskunde medicine volksgezondheid public health cardiologie cardiology Medicine (General) Geneeskunde (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (Ebsco, viewed June 19, 2015) Subject Apolipoproteins.
