A comprehensive classification system for lipids11 The evaluation of this manuscript was handled by the former Editor-in-Chief Trudy Forte. Published, JLR Papers in Press, February 16, 2005. DOI…
TLDR
A comprehensive classification of lipids with a common platform that is compatible with informatics requirements has been developed to deal with the massive amounts of data that will be generated by the lipid community.

LMSD: LIPID MAPS structure database
TLDR
The LIPID MAPS Structure Database (LMSD) is a relational database encompassing structures and annotations of biologically relevant lipids that provides the capability to perform a substructure search or exact match for the structure drawn by the user.

Lipidomics reveals a remarkable diversity of lipids in human plasma1[S]
TLDR
The focus of the present study was to define the human plasma lipidome and to establish novel analytical methodologies to quantify the large spectrum of plasma lipids and to quantitatively assessed the levels of over 500 distinct molecular species distributed among the main lipid categories.

Sphingolipids in food and the emerging importance of sphingolipids to nutrition.
TLDR
There is no known nutritional requirement for sphingolipids; nonetheless, they are hydrolyzed throughout the gastrointestinal tract to the same categories of metabolites that are used by cells to regulate growth, differentiation, apoptosis and other cellular functions.

SphK1 and SphK2, Sphingosine Kinase Isoenzymes with Opposing Functions in Sphingolipid Metabolism*
TLDR
The results demonstrate that SphK1 and SphK2 have opposing roles in the regulation of ceramide biosynthesis and suggest that the location of sphingosine 1-phosphate production dictates its functions.

Exposure to Fumonisins and the Occurrence of Neural Tube Defects along the Texas–Mexico Border
TLDR
It is suggested that fumonisin exposure increases the risk of NTD, proportionate to dose, up to a threshold level, at which point fetal death may be more likely to occur.
