A ceramide cream, containing a precise mixture of fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides, is a moisturizer that replenishes the lipid or oily matrix of the skin's outer layer — the stratum corneum. Ceramides, composed of fatty acids and sphingosine, are critical to the barrier properties of...
A ceramide is a lipid molecule that plays an essential role in both water-retention function and barrier function in the stratum corneum – the outer layer of skin. Ceramides ensure that trans-epidermal water loss does not occur too quickly by holding onto water in the skin. In addition, cer...
Ceramide is a chemical that is used toimprove skin moisture. It also acts as a natural moisturizer. It prevents skin dryness by preventing water loss and enhancing skin renewal. There are three major components of ceramides: N-Acylneuraminate, fatty acids, and sphingosine. These components preven...
Glycosphingolipids (sometimes called glycolipids) have been found inlower and higher eukaryoticsources. They are composed of a glycan structure attached to a lipid tail that contains the sphingolipid ceramide. Can water move through the middle of a membrane?
What is Acyl-CoA for? Long-chain acyl-CoAs are substrates for most pathways that useFA for energy productionor for the synthesis of complex lipids like phospholipids, cholesteryl esters, ceramide, and TAG. Acyl-CoAs are substrates for β-oxidation in peroxisomes and mitochondria and for ω-oxi...
DNA duplication and transcription. Crosstalk among different kinds of lipid signalling pathways influence the physiopathology of numerous cell types. In neural cells the nuclear lipids are involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, migration and apoptosis. Abnormal metabolism of nuclear li...
Deleterious effects of lipid accumulation in non-adipose tissues are known as lipotoxicity. In fact, triglycerides may also serve a storage function for long-chain non-esterified fatty acids and their products such as ceramides and diacylglycerols (DAGs). Thus, excess DAG, ceramide and saturated ...
The existence of NKT-cell subsets, and other types of T cell that resemble NKT cells, is an ongoing source of confusion in the literature. This perspective article seeks to clarify which cells fall under the NKT-cell umbrella, and which might be best considered as separate....
Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound originating from different plants such as rhubarb, grapes, and peanuts. RSV downregulates the expression of SREBP-1, ChREBP, and ADRP through the JAML/Sirt1 lipid synthesis pathway, which in turn reduces renal lipid deposition and li...
