A member asked:
Could you tell me what are diseases caused by shortage or excessive of lipids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age dependent: Children need lipids for brain development. There are no adult lipid deficiency diseases. Vitmins a, e, d and k are fat soluble - prolonged diets with no fat (like all water diets) can cause vitamin deficiencies. Excess fats can lead to pancreatitis and premature or accelerated arteriosclerosis.
