Abstract excerpt
The concentrations of plasma glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and ceramide (Cer) were determined in a cohort of type 1 Gaucher disease patients. In plasma of untreated patients, GlcCer concentrations were on average 3-fold increased (median Gaucher: 17.5 nmol/ml, range: 6.5-45.5 (n=27); median control: 5.9 nmol/ml, range 4.0-8.6 (n=15)). Although plasma Cer concentrations were not significantly different between the two...
