Multiple pathways of lipid dysregulation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons and loss of various muscular functions. Dyslipidaemia is prevalent in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with aberrant changes mainly in cholesterol ester and triglyceride. Despite this, little is known about global lipid changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or in relation to disease progression. The present study incorporated a longitudinal lipidomic analysis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum with a comparison with healthy controls using advanced liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results established that diglyceride, the precursor of triglyceride, was enriched the most, while ceramide was depleted the most in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis compa
