Lipids, as the major components of cell membranes, are multi-functional molecules that also critically contribute to signal transduction, transcriptional regulation and membrane trafficking. The voice from single lipid molecule mixes together to create a balancing symphony or chorus called lipid homeostasis. Disturbances in the molecular song by lipids trigger profound physiological responses, which are reflected as metabolic disorders, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis. Hence, it is important to understand the semiotics of this molecular language. Lipid homeostasis is context-dependent and regulated coordinately by a variety of lipids per se andproteins.
