Low serum sphingolipids in children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder [PDF]
Background: Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent neuropsychiatric condition in childhood. ADHD is a multifactorial trait with a strong genetic component. One neurodevelopmental hypothesis is that ADHD is associated with a

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.

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.

Metabolomics to unveil and understand phenotypic diversity between pathogen populations [PDF]
Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by a parasite called Leishmania donovani, which every year infects about half a million people and claims several thousand lives. Existing treatments are now becoming less effective due to the emergence of drug resistance.

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 ...
