<sup>1</sup>H-NMR Plasma Lipoproteins Profile Analysis Reveals Lipid Metabolism Alterations in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Patients
The lipid tumour demand may shape the host metabolism adapting the circulating lipids composition to its growth and progression needs. This study aims to exploit the straightforward <sup>1</sup>H-NMR lipoproteins analysis to investigate the alterations of the circulating lipoproteins’ fr...
