HERNANDEZ-BELLO, Fernando et al. Sphingolipid metabolism and its relationship with cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.93, n.1, pp.88-95.  Epub 24-Fev-2023. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.21000333.

Sphingolipids (sphingomyelin, glycolipids, gangliosides) are located in cell membranes, plasma, and lipoproteins. In patients with cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases, the profile of sphingolipids and their metabolites (ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine-1-phosphate) is modified, and these changes may explain the alterations in some cellular responses such as apoptosis. Furthermore, sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate have been suggested to prevent COVID-19. This review also briefly mentions the techniques that allow us to study sphingolipids and their metabolites.

Palavras-chave : Sphingolipids; Sphingomyelin; Ceramide; Sphingosine; Sphingosine 1-phosphate; Cardiovascular diseases.
