Sphingolipidomic mass spectrometry has provided valuable information-and surprises-about sphingolipid structures, metabolism, and functions in normal biological processes disease. Nonetheless, many noteworthy compounds are not routinely determined, such as the following: most of sphingoid bases that mammals biosynthesize de novo other than sphingosine (and sometimes sphinganine) or acquire from exogenous sources; infrequently considered metabolites bases, N-(methyl)n-derivatives; "ceramides" common N-acylsphingosines; complex sphingolipids sphingomyelins simple glycosphingolipids, including glucosyl- galactosylceramides, which usually reported "monohexosylceramides". These subspecies discussed, well some circumstances when they likely to be seen (or present missed) due experimental conditions can influence uptake diet microbiome, artifacts produced during extraction analysis. If these factors kept mind design interpretation lipidomic studies, investigators surprised by how often appear thereby advance knowledge about them.

Biological membranes consist of a lipid bilayer in which integral membrane proteins are embedded. Based on the compositional complexity species found membranes, and their specific selective interactions with proteins, we recently suggested that bilayers can be best described as "finely-tuned molecular machines." We now discuss one such set lipid-protein by describing negative feedback mechanism operating
