- #Food Allergy was uniquely associated with a marked decrease in sphingolipid levels, as well as levels of a number of other lipid metabolites, in the face of normal frequencies of circulating natural killer T cells. - [1.2]
- High ceramide levels > associated with insulin resistance, hypercholesterolemia, liver steatosis, and the formation of lipid rafts. - Some classes of #Ceramides in the blood increase the risk for late-onset #Alzheimer’s disease, as they are neurotoxic and induce apoptosis . - #Bacteroidetes phylum can synthesize sphingolipids > human epithelial cells > #Ceramides
