The Mayo Clinic recently introduced a diagnostic test that quantifies plasma ceramides in
order to identify patients at risk of major adverse cardiac events. By comparing recent …

Ceramides are bioactive lipids that act as secondary messengers for both intra-and inter-
cellular signaling. Elevated plasma concentrations of ceramides are associated with multiple …

Aims The aim was to study the prognostic value of plasma ceramides (Cer) as
cardiovascular death (CV death) markers in three independent coronary artery disease …

Ceramide is a core molecule of sphingolipid metabolism that causes selective insulin
resistance and dyslipidemia. Research on its involvement in cardiovascular diseases has …

Ceramides are bioactive lipids that have an important role in many cellular functions such as
apoptosis and inflammation. During the past decade emerging clinical data have shown that …

There is a need for new biomarkers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), the
main cause of death globally. Ceramides, a class of potent bioactive lipid mediators, have …

Objective—Ceramides are molecular lipids implicated in apoptosis, inflammation, obesity,
and insulin resistance. An earlier study reported that ceramides were associated with fatal …

Background Recent studies suggest that circulating concentrations of specific ceramide
species may be associated with coronary risk and mortality. We sought to determine the …

Objective—Ceramides are sphingolipids involved with cellular signaling. Synthesis of
ceramides occurs in all tissues. Ceramides accumulate within tissues and the blood plasma …

Monitoring the levels of the ceramides (Cer) d18: 1/16: 0, Cer d18: 1/18: 0, Cer d18: 1/24: 0,
and Cer d18: 1/24: 1 and ratios thereof in human plasma empowers the prediction of fatal …
