Levels of significantly different lipids in livers of mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with SM.

Male mice were fed a high-fat (HF) diet without or with 0.6% wt/wt SM (HFSM) for 4 weeks. Liver lipids were quantified as described in “Methods”. Values represent means±SEM. Percentage difference between groups is given in italics. Significant differences between the HF and HFSM groups were determined by Student's t-test:
†Pcorrected<0.05. Cer: Ceramide; SM Sphingomyelin; PC: Phosphatidylcholine; LPC: Lysophosphatiylcholine; PE: Phosphatidylethanolamine; BMP: Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate; CE: Cholesteryl ester; TG: Triglyceride.
