Lipid balance and chemoresistance in cancer cells [PDF]
A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

Selective association of plasma sphingolipid species with insulin sensitivity and secretion in normoglycemic Black and White American adults [PDF]
Ceramides and other sphingolipids are associated with diabetes risk. Here, we examined the association of plasma sphingolipids with insulin sensitivity and secretion in people without diabetes.

Composition of human serum sphingomyelins
Serum sphingomyelins were analyzed by argentation chromatography of the corresponding ceramide diacetates. Six subfractions were obtained. Three of them contained 4-sphingenines in combination with saturated, trans-, or cis-monoenoic fatty acids; the ...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease stratification by liver lipidomics
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common metabolic dysfunction leading to hepatic steatosis. However, NAFLD's global impact on the liver lipidome is poorly understood.

Plasma ceramides containing saturated fatty acids are associated with risk of type 2 diabetes
Recent studies suggest that the type of saturated fatty acid bound to sphingolipids influences the biological activity of those sphingolipids. However, it is unknown whether associations of sphingolipids with diabetes may differ by the identity of bound ...

Different Lipid Signature in Fibroblasts of Long-Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders
Long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (lc-FAOD) are a group of diseases affecting the degradation of long-chain fatty acids. In order to investigate the disease specific alterations of the cellular lipidome, we performed undirected lipidomics in ...

Rat spermatogenic cells contain sphingomyelins (SMs) and ceramides (Cers) with very long-chain PUFAs (VLCPUFAs) in nonhydroxylated (n-V) and 2-hydroxylated (h-V) forms. How these atypical species distribute among membrane fractions during differentiation
