The lipids are a large and diverse group of naturally occurring organic compounds that are related by their solubility in nonpolar organic solvents (e.g. ether, chloroform, acetone & benzene) and general insolubility in water.hospholipids are the main constituents of cell membranes. They resemble the triglycerides in being ester or amide derivatives of glycerol or sphingosine with fatty acids and phosphoric acid.
As of now, research doesnât clearly indicate a specific cause of rheumatoid nodules and why exactly they develop in some patients and not in others. Given they generally form on extensor joints, rheumatoid nodules could be the result of repeated pressure on the affected joints over time.
Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by a single over functioning nodule within the thyroid or by multiple nodules. These thyroid nodules are benign (non-cancerous) lumps or tumors in the gland. A single nodule or multiple nodules can produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormones.
