Clinical lipidology is a branch of medicine focusing on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and associated disorders. A physician who specializes in the field of lipidology treats patients with lipid disorders and cardiovascular disease. This physician specialist studies and treats cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins in the blood, all of which contribute to heart disease and atherosclerosis. The field of lipidology is growing rapidly because of the number of patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease, obesity and diabetes mellitus.
Michigan’s capital is Lansing, and its population is 10,120,860. Michigan has lots of places to entertain residents and visitors: tour Kellogg’s Cereal City USA in Battle Creek, the Motown Historical Museum in Detroit, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, or the Grand Rapids Brewing Co. Take a carriage tour on Mackinac Island, where no vehicle traffic is allowed. Michigan borders on four of the five Great Lakes, so there are always lakefront vistas and lighthouse tours and boat rides, no matter what shore you’re on. The Soo Lock system is the world’s busiest lock system for boat traffic. Famous people born here include industrialist Henry Ford, and singers Diana Ross and Madonna.
