FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

December 19, 2007

LIPID SCIENCES, INC. CONCLUDES ENROLLMENT IN HDL THERAPY CLINICAL TRIAL

PLEASANTON, Calif., December 19, 2007 – Lipid Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:LIPD) announced today the conclusion of enrollment of new patients in the Company’s HDL Therapy Clinical Trial currently being conducted at the Washington Hospital Center, Suburban Hospital, and Washington Adventist Hospital.

According to Lipid Sciences’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. S. Lewis Meyer, “The FDA-approved protocol for this study permitted Lipid Sciences to enroll a maximum of 30 patients based on the expectation that there would be a drop-out rate of up to 33%.  The unusually high retention rate of 92% that we have experienced in this trial has allowed the Company to gather sufficient data based upon the current enrollment of 28 patients.”

Dr. Meyer added, “All of the patients participating in this ground-breaking, ‘first in man’ clinical trial continue to tolerate the treatment process extremely well.  The principal goal of this study was to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of our HDL Selective Delipidation process.  The unexpectedly high retention rate clearly establishes the feasibility of this novel treatment for cardiovascular disease.  We will now move rapidly to the analysis of both the safety and intravascular ultrasound data from this study and plan to report those results by the end of the first quarter of 2008.”

The participants in this clinical trial were randomized 1:1 in the treatment and placebo arms of the study titled, “ Randomized, Single-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety of the Lipid Sciences’ Selective Delipidation System, PDS-2, in Subjects with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).”  Patients currently enrolled in the trial will have completed their scheduled plasma collection and re-infusion treatments by the end of January 2008.

Lipid Sciences, Inc. is a development-stage biotechnology company engaged in the research and development of products and processes intended to treat major medical indications, in which lipids, or fat components, play a key role.  The Company’s HDL Therapy platform (HDL Mimetic Peptides and HDL Selective Delipidation) aims to develop treatments to reverse atherosclerosis, a systemic disease of the blood vessels caused by the build-up of cholesterol-filled plaques in the vascular system and, most critically, in the coronary arteries.  Regression of such plaques may have a major impact on reducing the risk of acute coronary events.  The Company’s Viral Immunotherapy platform focuses on the removal of the lipid coatings from lipid-enveloped viruses and other lipid-containing infectious agents by applying Lipid Sciences’ proprietary delipidation technologies.  The Company believes that removing the virus’ protective

lipid coating enhances the processing and presentation of viral proteins to stimulate the body’s immune system to effectively fight the disease.  Conditions that could potentially be impacted by these technologies include HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, West Nile, SARS, influenza, and a broad range of animal health applications.
