Blood sphingolipids provide new insights into diabetes

Sphingolipids represent the structurally most diverse class of lipid molecules. The structural complexity of sphingolipids is due to changes in the three components of these lipids: long-chain bases, amide-bonded fatty acids, and head groups. Sphingolipids are signaling molecules involved in a variety of cellular functions, from cell cycle control to the breakdown of plasma membrane… Continue reading Blood sphingolipids provide new insights into diabetes

Gut microbial signatures and risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common disease, characterized by imbalances in the regulation of blood sugar and blood lipid levels, blood platelet aggregation, and blood pressure. The gut microbial signatures are been studied to assess the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Many genetic variants associated with T2D have been identified, partly explaining… Continue reading Gut microbial signatures and risk of developing type 2 diabetes
