NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.

Turnover of endogenous ceramide in cultured normal and Farber fibroblasts
De novo synthesis and turnover of endogenous ceramide in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients affected with Farber lipogranulomatosis were studied by biosynthetical labeling of cellular sphingolipids with [14C]serine.

Mammalian ceramide synthases [PDF]
AbstractIn mammals, ceramide, a key intermediate in sphingolipid metabolism and an important signaling molecule, is synthesized by a family of six ceramide synthases (CerS), each of which synthesizes ceramides with distinct acyl chain lengths. There are a number of common biochemical features between the CerS, such as their catalytic mechanism, and ...

Genetic Determinants of Circulating Sphingolipid Concentrations in European Populations [PDF]
Sphingolipids have essential roles as structural components of cell membranes and in cell signalling, and disruption of their metabolism causes several diseases, with diverse neurological, psychiatric, and metabolic consequences.

Ceramide Kinase and Ceramide‐1‐Phosphate
It has been over a decade since the sphingolipid ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) was described. Until recently, only sparse reports on possible biological functions for this lipid have been published. A large number of reports have now surfaced demonstrating distinct biological mechanisms regulated by C1P produced from ceramide kinase (CERK).

Ceramide-rich platforms (CRPs) mediate association of proteins with the sphingolipid ceramide and may regulate protein interaction in membrane contact sites to the cytoskeleton, organelles, and infectious pathogens.

Ceramide is More Effective than Shea Butter in Maintaining Skin Acidity
Background: Skin is the largest organ that functions as a physical barrier. Stable skin pH can maximize its function. Ceramide and shea butter cream have components that maintain the skin pH in the stratum corneum. Purpose: The aim is to compare ceramide

The low intestinal and hepatic toxicity of hydrolyzed fumonisin B1 correlates with its inability to alter the metabolism of sphingolipids [PDF]
Fumonisins are mycotoxins frequently found as natural contaminants in maize, where they are produced by the plant pathogen Fusarium verticillioides. They are toxic to animals and exert their effects through mechanisms involving disruption of sphingolipid

Open field study of some Zea mays hybrids, lipid compounds and fumonisins accumulation [PDF]
Lipid molecules are increasingly recognized as signals exchanged by organisms interacting in pathogenic and/or symbiotic ways. Some classes of lipids actively determine the fate of the interactions.

Detergent-Resistant, Ceramide-Enriched Domains in Sphingomyelin/Ceramide Bilayers [PDF]
When cell membranes are treated with Triton X-100 or other detergents at 4 degrees C, a nonsolubilized fraction can often be recovered, the "detergent-resistant membranes", that is not found when detergent treatment takes place at 37 degrees C. Detergent-resistant membranes may be related in some cases to membrane "rafts".
