Serum sphingolipid profiling as a novel biomarker for metabolic syndrome characterization [PDF]
BackgroundSphingolipids are components of cell membrane structure, but also circulate in serum and are essential mediators of many cellular functions. While ceramides have been proposed previously as a useful biomarker for cardiometabolic disease, the ...

Sphingolipid profiling as a biomarker of type 2 diabetes risk: evidence from the MIDUS and PREDIMED studies [PDF]
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a worldwide pandemic. While ceramides may serve as intermediary between obesity-related lipotoxicity and T2D, the relationship with simple glycosphingolipids remains uncertain.

Characterization of the brain lipidome associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration MAPT P301S mutation [PDF]
Mutations in microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT), the gene that codes for the protein Tau, cause frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with phenotypes ranging from behavioral changes to cognitive impairment and parkinsonism.

Characterization of phospholipid profiles of egg yolks: Newly classified plasmalogens, distribution of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the effects of dietary enrichment [PDF]
Egg yolk phospholipids are commercially valuable products that are beneficial to human health. Previous research on phospholipids in egg yolk mainly focuses on phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), and fatty acid compositions, and ...

Cytokine-driven glycosphingolipid metabolism modulates endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis in primary human renal mesangial cells [PDF]
IntroductionGlycosphingolipids (GSLs), including hexosylceramides (HexCers), lactosylceramides (LacCers), and gangliosides composed of one or more sugar residues attached to ceramide, are essential components of cell membranes.

Anxiety is associated with systemic pro-inflammatory profile and plasma lipid changes in Mexican young adults [PDF]
IntroductionSystemic inflammation and altered lipid metabolism have been implicated in anxiety disorders, but the relationship between circulating cytokines, plasma lipid species and symptom severity remains unclear.MethodsWe studied 34 young adults (17 ...

Plasma lipidomics, choline metabolites, and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): A Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. [PDF]
Metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is marked by accumulation of hepatic triacylglycerols (TAG), but many other lipids have been implicated.

Targeted analysis of sphingolipids and cytokines in plasma of dairy cows after calving reveals distinct impacts of systemic inflammation, ketosis, and mastitis [PDF]
Background Sphingolipids (SL) are key regulators of inflammatory processes, yet their roles in dairy cows remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of inflammation (plasma haptoglobin concentration), ketosis, and mastitis on plasma SL

Circulating Lipoprotein Sphingolipids in Chronic Kidney Disease with and without Diabetes [PDF]
Abnormalities of sphingolipid metabolism play an important role in diabetes. We compared sphingolipid levels in plasma and in isolated lipoproteins between healthy control subjects and two groups of patients, one with chronic kidney disease without ...
