1981 - Member of the National Academy of Sciences

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Fatty acid, Linoleic acid, Polyunsaturated fatty acid and Double bond. His work deals with themes such as Adipose tissue, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Arachidonic acid, which intersect with Fatty acid. The Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Phospholipid, Essential fatty acid and Eicosanoid.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Weight gain, Food science, Infrared spectroscopy and Microsome. His work on Eicosadienoic Acid as part of general Polyunsaturated fatty acid study is frequently linked to Chemical kinetics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Double bond study combines topics in areas such as Mass spectrum, Molecule, Stereochemistry and Gas chromatography.

His most cited work include:

  • The thiobarbituric acid reaction and the autoxidations of polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters. (745 citations)
  • The ratio of trienoic: tetraenoic acids in tissue lipids as a measure of essential fatty acid requirement. (490 citations)
  • A case of human linolenic acid deficiency involving neurological abnormalities (426 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ralph T. Holman mainly investigates Biochemistry, Fatty acid, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Biochemistry research focuses on Linoleic acid, Metabolism, Essential fatty acid, Essential fatty acid deficiency and Lipid metabolism. His Fatty acid study contributes to a more complete understanding of Organic chemistry.

His Polyunsaturated fatty acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Unsaturated fatty acid, Corn oil, Food science, Linolenate and Blood lipids. His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gastroenterology and Biotin. His research integrates issues of Phospholipid and Arachidonic acid in his study of Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (33.08%)
  • Fatty acid (31.94%)
  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid (30.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1983-2009)?

  • Internal medicine (23.95%)
  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid (30.80%)
  • Endocrinology (22.05%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ralph T. Holman mostly deals with Internal medicine, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Endocrinology, Biochemistry and Fatty acid. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Gastroenterology, Essential fatty acid and Biotin. The various areas that he examines in his Polyunsaturated fatty acid study include Unsaturated fatty acid, Dietary fat, Food science, Linoleic acid and Metabolism.

His Endocrinology research includes themes of Phospholipid and Arachidonic acid. He combines subjects such as Menhaden and Pharmacology with his study of Biochemistry. His Fatty acid study typically links adjacent topics like Blood lipids.

Between 1983 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Fatty acid intake and Kupffer cell function: fish oil alters eicosanoid and monokine production to endotoxin stimulation. (229 citations)
  • The Slow Discovery of the Importance of ω3 Essential Fatty Acids in Human Health (216 citations)
  • Deficiency of essential fatty acids and membrane fluidity during pregnancy and lactation. (190 citations)
