Sphingolipids are a complex group of polar lipids. Variations in their components
(backbone, polar head group and fatty acid) engenders a large and complex structural …

Eukaryotic organisms as well as some prokaryotes and viruses contain sphingolipids, which
are defined by a common structural feature, ie, a “sphingoid base” backbone such as D …

Sphingolipids have attracted attention as physiologically functional lipids. We determined
their class and content in Japanese meals that had been prepared by a nutritionist, mainly …

Sphingolipids (SLs) are ubiquitous structural components of cell membranes and are
essential for cell functions under physiological conditions or during disease progression …

Sphingolipids are structural components of cell membranes and lipoproteins but also act as
signaling molecules in many pathophysiological processes. Although sphingolipids …

Sphingolipids are found in all eukaryotic and some prokaryotic organisms and participate in

Sphingolipids are widespread membrane components that are found in all eukaryotic cells.
They consist of a long chain sphingoid-base, usually sphingosine, which is acylated at the 2 …

Dietary sphingolipids have gained attention because of their possible ability to inhibit colon
cancer. The purpose of this study was to quantify sphingolipids in soy and dairy products, 2 …

Sphingolipids are found in all eukaryotic and some prokaryotic cells and therefore most
foods contain varying amounts. They are digested in the intestinal tract, and the bioactive …
