Research Excerpts

Overview

Psychosine (PSY) is a putative marker of KD progression and can be measured in dried blood spots (DBS) Psychosine is an important bioactive sphingolipid metabolite.

Effects

Psychosine has a free amine group which is necessary for the mediation of its toxic effects. It has a very potent inhibitory effect on cytochrome c oxidase (COX) in mitochondria.

The "psychosine hypothesis" has been refined by showing that psychosine disrupts lipid rafts and vesicular transport critical for the function of glia and neurons. Psychosine has a free amine group which is necessary for the mediation of its toxic effects.

Treatment

Psychosine significantly down-regulated AMPK activity, resulting in increased biosynthesis of lipids including cholesterol and free fatty acid. Psychosine treatment also induced giant clots of actin filaments in the cells.
