In this study, we applied fluorescence spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
and 2H NMR to elucidate the properties of nanoscopic segregated domains in …

Sphingomyelin (SM) is a main component of lipid rafts and characteristic of abundance of
long and saturated acyl chains. Recently, we reported that fluorescence-labeled lipids …

The milk sphingomyelin (MSM) is involved in the formation of ordered lipid domains in the
biological milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), where it accounts for about 30% wt of the …

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels are an inverse risk factor for cardiovascular diseases,
and sphingomyelin (SM) is the second most abundant phospholipid component and the …

Sphingomyelin (SM) is the most prevalent sphingolipid in the majority of mammalian
membranes. Proton and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data were acquired to …

It has been a long-standing question how the two leaflets in a lipid bilayer modulate each
others' physical properties. In this paper, we discuss how this interaction may take place …

Differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction have been utilized to investigate the
interaction of N-stearoylsphingomyelin (C18: 0-SM) with cholesterol and …

Lipid rafts have attracted much attention because of their significant functional roles in
membrane-associated processes. It is thought that sphingomyelin and cholesterol are …

The interfacial interactions of cholesterol with sphingomyelins (SMs) containing various
homogeneous acyl chains have been investigated by Langmuir film balance approaches …

Sphingomyelins (SMs) are an essential class of lipids widely existing in different organisms.
The sphingoid base and N-acyl chain are two building blocks which can undergo different …
