Quantitative analysis of brain galactosylceramides by high performance liquid chromatography of their perbenzoyl derivatives

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1976
A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for analysis of galactosylceramides as their benzoyl derivatives has been devised. Samples containing 10-150 nmoles of monohexosylceramides are benzoylated by heating for 60 min at 60 ° C in 0.5 ml ...

Plasma Glucosylsphingosine in GBA1 E365K, N409S, and L483P Heterozygous Mutation Carriers

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background GBA1 encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, with key substrates that include glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine. The E365K variant is the most common variant in GBA1 that is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) but is not associated with Gaucher disease.

Neutral glycosphingolipids in human blood: a precise mass spectrometry analysis with special reference to lipoprotein-associated Shiga toxin receptors[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli are the leading cause of hemorrhagic colitis and life-threatening extraintestinal complications in humans. Stx1 and Stx2 are transferred by yet to be delineated mechanisms from the intestine to the circulation

Elevation of Stearoyl‐Coenzyme A Desaturase and Monounsaturated Fatty Acids in Parkinson's Disease Serum

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), synthesized by the enzyme stearoyl‐coenzyme A desaturase (SCD), impacts on α‐synuclein pathology in the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain. Objective The objective of this study was to analyze SCD and MUFA‐enriched lipids in the periphery of patients ...

Glucosylceramides stimulate murine epidermal hyperproliferation. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 1995
Hydrolysis of glucosylceramides (GlcCer) by beta-glucocerebrosidase generates ceramides, critical components of the epidermal permeability barrier. Ceramides also are involved in the regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation in a variety of cell types. Whereas most studies have focused on ceramides and their sphingoid base metabolites as

Glycosphingolipids from cultured astroblasts

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1977
The glycolipids of two clonal lines astroblasts, NN clone and C6 clone, were studied. Glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide were present at very low levels in both clones, but the most common myelin glycolipids galactosylceramide and sulfatide, were not ...

Alterations in Metabolites Associated With Umbilical Cord Blood in Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Congenital Heart Disease

open access: yesPediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
This study found that the metabolomic signature of umbilical venous cord blood in congenital heart disease (CHD) differs from that of healthy monozygotic (MZ) co‐twins. Dysregulation of metabolic pathways like glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, along with altered metabolites, helps understand CHD predisposition.

A novel sphingolipid-TORC1 pathway critically promotes postembryonic development in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yeseLife, 2013
Regulation of animal development in response to nutritional cues is an intensely studied problem related to disease and aging. While extensive studies indicated roles of the Target of Rapamycin (TOR) in sensing certain nutrients for controlling growth ...

Fel d 1‐Expressing Plant‐Derived Bioparticle: A Novel Treatment for Cat Allergy

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the allergenicity and immunogenicity profile of a novel plant‐derived Fel d 1 bioparticle (eBP). Fel d 1 eBP promotes immune tolerance by redirecting allergic Th2 responses toward Th1 and IL‐10–producing regulatory pathways, including Bregs.

β-Glucocerebrosidase activity in mammalian stratum corneum

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Although previous studies have demonstrated a crucial role for the enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GlcCer'ase) in the final steps of membrane structural maturation in mammalian stratum cornuem (SC) and epidermal homeostasis, the precise in vivo localization
