Is preperitoneal fat thickness determined by ultrasonography correlated with coronary stenosis and lipid disorders in non-obese male subjects?
PFT shows good correlations with coronary artery stenosis score and dyslipidemia, and may lead to the development of coronary artery disease in non-obese male subjects.
Our results offer mechanistic insights on the role of de novo sphingolipid synthesis in the innate immunity of intestinal epithelial cells to Salmonella infection. The pharmaceuticals enhancing or diet enriched with sphingolipids may induce the dual anti-bacterial mechanisms. The role of de novo sphingolipid synthesis on inflammatory bowel disease is deserved to be further investigated.
