| Abstract | Herein, we investigated the potential relationship between sphingolipids and Alzheimer's disease (AD) with special attention to the relationship between dietary sea cucumber glucocerebrosides (SCGs) and sphingolipid metabolism. We assessed animal behavior using the Morris water maze test, determined Aβ1-42 concentration in the hippocampus using ELISA, and assessed the sphingolipid profile of the hippocampus and the cortex in normal mice (SAMR1), AD mice (SAMP8), and AD mice (SAMP8) fed with SCG using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. We found that the SAMP8 mice had impaired memory and an SCG diet significantly rescued spatial memory deficits in these mice. As expected, we found that the profiles of sphingolipid species and the levels of total cerebrosides (CBS), ceramides (Cer), and sulfatides (ST) were significantly different in both the hippocampus and the cortex between the three groups; moreover, there were significantly lower ST levels and higher Cer and CBS levels in these regions in the SAMP8 mice. In the AD-SCG group, Cer and ST levels were altered only in the hippocampus, in contrast to the AD group. The major molecular species ST (d18:1-C24:1) and Cer (d18:1/18:0) were especially different between those of the two groups. Unexpectedly, sphingolipid profiles, including the nonhydroxylated fatty acid-ST/hydroxylated fatty acid-ST, very long fatty acid-galactocerebroside/long fatty acid-galactocerebroside, nonhydroxylated fatty acid-galactocerebroside/hydroxylated fatty acid-galactocerebroside and galactocerebroside/glucocerebroside ratios, were affected by AD. Thus, the ST and Cer levels and the profiles of sphingolipid species in the AD-SCG group were significantly different compared to those of the AD model group. Therefore, SCG has potential ameliorative effects in AD, and exogenous sphingolipid intake may potentially influence sphingolipid metabolism in vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
