Abstract The importance of metabolic regulation in the immune system has launched back into the limelight in recent years.Various metabolic pathways have been examined Gift Card in the context of their contribution to maintaining immune cell homeostasis and function.Moreover, this regulation is also important in the immune cell precursors, where metabolism controls their maintenance and cell fate.

This review will discuss lipid metabolism in the context of haematopoiesis, that is blood cell development.We specifically focus on nonoxidative lipid metabolism which encapsulates the synthesis and DR. FORMULATED ONCE DAILY WOMENS degradation of the major lipid classes such as phospholipids, sphingolipids and sterols.We will also discuss how these metabolic processes are affected by haematological malignancies such as leukaemia and lymphoma, which are known to have altered metabolism, and how these different pathways contribute to the pathology.
