Abstract: Lipids are mandatory substance readily present in living body. They play a very vital role in maintaining a balance between all the mechanisms of the body. Lipids are almost water insoluble molecules that are transported in a protein capsule, commonly known as lipoprotein. Lipids undergoes a metabolism which is the major energy supplier for a living body. Types of lipids consists of Low-density Lipoprotein [LDL], Very Low-Density Lipoprotein [VLDL], High Density Lipoprotein [HDL], Triglycerides [TG]. Rise in the level of LDL or TG imposes a serious and severe threat to the body. Rise in these levels might lead to several disorders that includes much more severity in the disorders such as dysbetalipoproteinemia, lysosomal storage disorders, nephrotoxicity, menopause, renal disorders, obesity, diabetes, pregnancy toxemia, etc. Adding to these, problems of body such as hypothyroidism, genetic disruptions, etc. makes these disorders worse.
