The Journal of Lipid Research (JLR) is a leading peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the study of lipids in health and disease. Established in 1959, it is published by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. JLR covers a broad spectrum of topics, including lipid metabolism, function, and the biochemical and genetic regulation of lipid-related processes. The journal emphasizes research that provides new insights into mechanisms of lipid function and metabolism, as well as genes regulating lipid metabolism. It also welcomes patient-oriented and epidemiological studies, aiming to be at the forefront of emerging areas such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics as they relate to lipid metabolism and function.
