Sphingolipids in Food and the Emerging Importance of Sphingolipids to Nutrition [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Nutrition, 1999
Eukaryotic organisms as well as some prokaryotes and viruses contain sphingolipids, which are defined by a common structural feature, i.e. , a "sphingoid base" backbone such as D-erythro-1,3-dihydroxy, 2-aminooctadec-4-ene (sphingosine). The sphingolipids of mammalian tissues, lipoproteins, and milk include ceramides, sphingomyelins, cerebrosides ...

Mechanisms of sphingolipid functions during heat stress in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Sphingolipids are important membrane constituents in all eukaryotic cells. Ongoing sphingolipid synthesis is required for a variety of cellular processes including response to heat shock.

A systematic simulation of the effect of salicylic acid on sphingolipid metabolism

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) affects plant development and defense responses. Recent studies revealed that SA also participates in the regulation of sphingolipid metabolism, but the details of this regulation remain to be explored.

Sphingolipid synthesis and scavenging in the intracellular apicomplexan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sphingolipids are essential components of eukaryotic cell membranes, particularly the plasma membrane, and are involved in a diverse array of signal transduction pathways.

Altered expression of glycobiology-related genes in Parkinson’s disease brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
The precise mechanisms initiating and perpetuating the cellular degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) remain unclear. There is decreased expression of the main brain gangliosides, and GM1 ganglioside in particular, in the PD brain along with decreased

Defective CFTR increases synthesis and mass of sphingolipids that modulate membrane composition and lipid signaling

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2009
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that affect protein structure and channel function.

Cross-Regulation of the Cellular Redox System, Oxygen, and Sphingolipid Signalling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Redox-active mediators are now appreciated as powerful molecules to regulate cellular dynamics such as viability, proliferation, migration, cell contraction, and relaxation, as well as gene expression under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Fumonisin B1: A Tool for Exploring the Multiple Functions of Sphingolipids in Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Fumonisin toxins are produced by Fusarium fungal pathogens. Fumonisins are structural analogs of sphingosine and potent inhibitors of ceramide synthases (CerSs); they disrupt sphingolipid metabolism and cause disease in plants and animals.

Crosslink between lipids and acute uveitis: a lipidomic analysis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018
AIM: To explore the roles of phospholipids and sphingolipids in the inflammatory process of uveitis. METHODS: Aqueous humor (AH) and the retina were obtained from endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) rats during the acute inflammation stage (24h after ...

Lipidomics of the chicken egg yolk: high-resolution mass spectrometric characterization of nutritional lipid families

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
While previous studies have characterized the fatty acids and global lipid families of the chicken egg yolk, there have been no publications characterizing the individual lipids in these lipid families.
