Glycosphingolipids contain the amino alcohol sphingosine, which is a component of sphingomyelin, a lipid component of myelin sheath Schwann cells [36].
Cholesterol is a major lipid component of synapses and a limiting factor in synapse development, synaptic activity, and neurotransmitter release [12].
Cholesterol, one of the major lipid constituents in serum, is a major lipid component of the plasma membrane in most cells, and polyamines including putrescine and spermidine are commonly used to supplement SFM for a variety of cell types [ 20- 22].
Cardanol is a phenolic lipid component of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), obtained as the byproduct of cashew nut food processing.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a prominent lipid component of serum that has pleiotropic effects in cell development, inflammation, and cancer [4], [5], [6].
SM (sphingomyelin) is a major lipid component of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) particles and together with phosphatidylcholine forms the polar surface of the lipoproteins.
This effect is similar to the fungal cells treated with inhibitors of ergosterol synthesis such as azoles and allylamines which are known to damage membrane because ergosterol is an essential lipid component of the cell membrane (Nishiyama et al. 2005).
Phosphatidylcholine is the major lipid component of the malaria parasite membranes and is required for parasite multiplication in human erythrocytes.
