From: Association between ceramides and coronary artery stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease
Concentration of ceramides and ratio of ceramides to cer (d18:1/24:0). a. concentration of cer (d18:1/16:0) and cer (d18:1/18:0): there were no significant differences in cer (d18:1/16:0) or cer (d18:1/18:0) level between groups. b. concentration of cer (d18:1/24:1) and cer (d18:1/24:0): neither cer (d18:1/24:1) nor cer (d18:1/24:0) were significantly different between groups. c. ratio of ceramides to cer (d18:1/24:0): ratio of cer (d18:1/16:0) to cer (d18:1/24:0) was significantly increased in group with stenosis < 25% compared to group with stenosis 25–50% (P < 0.05), whereas there was no difference between other groups. There were no significant differences in ratios of cer (d18:1/18:0) or cer (d18:1/24:1) to cer (d18:1/24:0) between groups. (data is presented as mean ± SEM)
