Sphingolipids as emerging mediators in retina degeneration [PDF]
The sphingolipids ceramide (Cer), sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), sphingosine (Sph), and ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P) are key signaling molecules that regulate major cellular functions.

Production of α-Galactosylceramide by a Prominent Member of the Human Gut Microbiota [PDF]
While the human gut microbiota are suspected to produce diffusible small molecules that modulate host signaling pathways, few of these molecules have been identified.

Accumulation of long-chain bases in yeast promotes their conversion to a long-chain base vinyl ether [PDF]
Long-chain bases (LCBs) are the precursors to ceramide and sphingolipids in eukaryotic cells. They are formed by the action of serine palmitoyl-CoA transferase (SPT), a complex of integral membrane proteins located in the endoplasmic reticulum.

The sphinganine-analog mycotoxins (SAMs) fumonisin B1 and AAL toxins are inhibitors of eukaryotic sphinganine N-acyltransferase in vitro. Treatment of eukaryotes with SAMs generally results in an accumulation of sphingoid base precursors and a depletion ...

Fumonisin B-Glucose Reaction Products Are Less Toxic When Fed to Swine [PDF]
The effects of fumonisin B-glucose reaction products in swine diets was examined. Pigs were fed diets containing 528 µmol of total fumonisin B/kg (FB), 528 µmol of total FB-glucose adducts/kg (FB-G, 122 µmol of unreacted FB/kg), or 0 µmol of total FB/kg ...

Liquid chromatographic determination of the sphinganine/sphingosine ratio in serum
The fumonisin mycotoxins, which are worldwide contaminants of corn, inhibit de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis leading to elevation in the ratio of the sphingoid bases, sphinganine and sphingosine, in the serum of animals exposed to fumonisins. A new HPLC method for the determination of the ratio of these bases in serum has been developed involving ...
