Zebrafish represent a powerful vertebrate model that has been under-utilised for metabolic studies. Here we describe a rapid way to measure the in vivo metabolic profile of developing zebrafish that allows the comparison of different mitochondrial function parameters between genetically or pharmacologically manipulated embryos, thereby increasing the applicability of this organism.

This article describes a protocol for the extraction of translating ribosomes from eukaryotic cells. Once extracted, ribosomes are separated into monosomes and polyribosomes by sucrose gradient fractionation to allow different ribosomal populations to be analyzed. As such, this method is the gold standard for examining the regulation of translation.

Lipid polyesters constitute the structural components of two cell wall modifications, the plant cuticle and suberin-containing diffusion barriers. In this video, we describe a method to depolymerize cutin from whole delipidated leaves. The method can be applied to investigating mutants compromised in either cutin or suberin biosynthesis.

Lipid droplets are important organelles for the replication of several pathogens, including the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). We describe a method to isolate lipid droplets for quantitative mass spectrometry of associated proteins; it can be used under a variety of conditions, such as virus infection, environmental stress, or drug treatment.
FAQs
Each measurement contributes a different part of the laboratory picture: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides are reported separately rather than reduced to one number. Reviewing the group helps clinicians recognize whether an abnormal result involves one measured lipid or several, then place those findings within the patient’s broader cardiovascular risk assessment.
Fasting is a collection condition that may be specified for the test, so patients should follow the period communicated by the clinical team or laboratory. Fasting status should be considered when the report is reviewed, especially when results are compared across assessments. The available information does not support assuming that every lipid profile requires fasting.
Numbers from a lipid profile are not interpreted in isolation. Clinicians consider age, medical history, and cardiovascular risk alongside the measured cholesterol and triglyceride values. This context helps determine how findings relate to prevention, possible diagnosis, or treatment planning, rather than applying the same interpretation to every patient regardless of baseline risk.
During the assessment, a blood sample is collected under the requested conditions and analyzed for total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. The resulting laboratory values provide the measurements used for clinical review. Attention to the specified fasting requirement, when present, preserves the testing context documented for interpretation.
Lipid profile analysis can support several clinical decisions: identifying abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels, contributing to cardiovascular prevention, and informing diagnosis and treatment planning. The results do not replace the patient’s clinical history or risk assessment. Instead, they supply objective laboratory information that clinicians combine with those factors when choosing an appropriate management approach.
Repeat measurements are useful when the goal is to evaluate change over time. Serial lipid profiles can show whether lifestyle changes or lipid-lowering therapy are associated with different measured lipid levels. This time-based comparison supports ongoing monitoring and long-term disease management, while the clinician still interprets each result in relation to the patient’s current clinical context.
