The differential abundance of plasma ceramide species. In plasma, the distribution of ceramides is relatively fluctuating, with C24:0 being the most abundant and C18:0 the least concentration (A). Likewise, C24:1/C22:0 and C18:0/C24:0 are the highest and lowest ratios of plasma ceramide, respectively (B). Independent two-tailed t-test has shown a significant difference between males and females in all measured ceramide species, except for the concentration of C24:0 (ns; not significant P > 0.05) (C), and the ratio of C18:0/22:0 (P > 0.05) (D). Data are presented as Mean ± SEM
