  • 3- When analyses of low (trace) levels of fatty acids or other compounds are planned after neutral lipid fractionation, it is recommended to wash the silica gel before use by 3 successive suspensions and decantation in pure methanol followed by desiccation under vacuum lands drying at 110°C. Keep the washed silica gel in a tightly closed vessel. (gerli.com)

  • Deficiency or absence of alpha-galactosidase A (α-GAL A) activity as a result of gene mutations in the GLA gene (Xq21.3-q22) leads to lysosomal accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids, most notably globotriaosylceramide (G3b). (medscape.com)
  • As a consequence of the αGal A deficiency, neutral glycosphingolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), accumulate in a variety of cells and tissues, leading to a wide clinical spectrum of clinical manifestations [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In contrast, globosides are neutral lipid molecules. (springer.com)
  • It has been reported that Aβ generation and accumulation occur in membrane microdomains, called lipid rafts, which are enriched in cholesterol and glycosphingolipids. (elsevierpure.com)

  • Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum is the cutaneous hallmark of Fabry disease, an X-linked inherited disorder caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Decreased or absent enzyme activity causes uncleaved glycosphingolipids to accumulate in various cell types, particularly in the vascular endothelium, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes, causing ischemia and infarction of tissues.

  • These glycosphingolipids accumulate in many different types of cells. (medscape.com)
  • Persons with Fabry disease who have type AB or B blood also accumulate blood group B glycosphingolipids (those with alpha-galactosyl-terminated residues) and can have more severe Fabry disease (related to greater body substrate mass) than patients with blood group A. This is because these blood groups have two additional terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties. (medscape.com)
