Plasma ceramides and sphingomyelins with palmitic acid were linked to a 34% and 37% increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) per higher SD of log sphingolipid levels, respectively. After looking ...

Solving the Riddle of the Sphingolipids in Coronary Artery Disease Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have uncovered a way to unleash in blood vessels the protective effects of a type of fat-related ...

In a new study, the group of Johan Auwerx at EPFL's School of Life Sciences has made the first connection between muscular dystrophy and sphingolipids, a group of bioactive lipids. The study is ...

Excess cholesterol is known to form artery-clogging plaques that can lead to stroke, arterial disease, heart attack, and more, making it the focus of many heart health campaigns. Fortunately, this ...

Scientists have made a link between muscular dystrophy and a group of bioactive fats, the sphingolipids, which are involved in numerous cell functions and other diseases. In a new study, the group of ...

—According to the results of a new study from researchers in South Korea, plasma sphingolipids may help monitor disability and disease activity in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder ...

A study by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital and collaborating institutions is the first to associate ...

Certain lipids discovered in the 1800s presented chemists with structural and functional puzzles that proved unsolvable. And so, the chemists called these lipids sphingolipids, likening them to the ...

In a new study, the group of Johan Auwerx at EPFL’s School of Life Sciences has made the first connection between muscular dystrophy and sphingolipids, a group of bioactive lipids. The study is ...

A team of researchers has linked neuronal activity to the levels of sphingolipids, a type of fat, in brain cells. Furthermore, disruption of sphingolipid metabolism led to significant neuronal damage ...
