Associations of plasma very-long-chain SFA and the metabolic syndrome in adults [PDF]
, 2018 Plasma levels of very-long-chain SFA (VLCSFA) are associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the associations may vary by different biological activities of individual VLCSFA or population characteristics.

The long and the short of ceramides [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 The sphingolipid ceramide is not only a precursor of more complex sphingolipids, but also a potent signaling molecule. Specific ceramide species have distinct cellular functions, and each ceramide synthase therefore has particular roles in cells and organisms.

Inimitable Impacts of Ceramides on Lipid Rafts Formed in Artificial and Natural Cell Membranes
Membranes, 2022 Ceramide is the simplest precursor of sphingolipids and is involved in a variety of biological functions ranging from apoptosis to the immune responses. Although ceramide is a minor constituent of plasma membranes, it drastically increases upon cellular ...

Inhibition of de novo ceramide biosynthesis affects aging phenotype in an in vitro model of neuronal senescence. [PDF]
, 2019 Although aging is considered to be an unavoidable event, recent experimental evidence suggests that the process can be counteracted. Intracellular calcium (Ca2+i) dyshomeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and lipid dysregulation are ...

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]
, 2019 In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

Metabolic Messengers: ceramides
Nature Metabolism, 2019 Ceramides are products of metabolism that accumulate in individuals with obesity or dyslipidaemia and alter cellular processes in response to fuel surplus. Their actions, when prolonged, elicit the tissue dysfunction that underlies diabetes and heart disease.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Light-induced retinal degeneration (LIRD) in albino rats causes apoptotic photoreceptor cell death. Ceramide is a second messenger for apoptosis. We tested whether increases in ceramide mediate photoreceptor apoptosis in LIRD and if inhibition of ...

Ceramide kinase uses ceramide provided by ceramide transport protein: localization to organelles of eicosanoid synthesis [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2007 Ceramide kinase (CERK) is a critical mediator of eicosanoid synthesis, and its product, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), is required for the production of prostaglandins in response to several inflammatory agonists. In this study, mass spectrometry analysis disclosed that the main forms of C1P in cells were C(16:0) C1P and C(18:0) C1P, suggesting that CERK ...

Mitochondrial ceramide-rich macrodomains functionalize Bax upon irradiation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND:Evidence indicates that Bax functions as a "lipidic" pore to regulate mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), the apoptosis commitment step, through unknown membrane elements.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017 Macrophages use an extracellular, hydrolytic compartment formed by local actin polymerization to digest aggregated LDL (agLDL). Catabolism of agLDL promotes foam cell formation and creates an environment rich in LDL catabolites, including cholesterol and
