Figure 1. General Scheme for ganglioside biosynthesis. G indicates ganglioside; M indicates monosialo; D indicates disialo; T indicates trisialo; numbers indicate carbohydrate synthesis. The reactions of sialyl-transferases transfer sialic acid units. The reactions of neuramidases remove sialic acid units.

Figure 2. Gangliosides present in plasma at fasted and 4 h postprandial. (A) Percentage of mono-, poly-unsaturated GD1 ganglioside species in plasma found at fasting (baseline) and 4 h postprandial in control and diabetic subjects. (B) Percentage of mono-, poly-unsaturated and saturated GD3 species in plasma found at fasting baseline and 4 h postprandial timepoint in control and diabetic subjects. (C) Percentage of mono-, poly-unsaturated and saturated GM3 ganglioside species in plasma observed at fasting baseline and the postprandial in control and diabetic subjects. Low and high fat diet treatments were combined in subsequent analysis since no significant difference was detected in these groups. Data represent mean ± SD. Letters (a,b) indicate significant difference at p < 0.05 when individual ganglioside species are compared between control and T2DM subjects and symbol (*) indicate significant difference at p < 0.05 when individual ganglioside species are compared at 0 and 4 h time periods in the same group. Monounsaturated GD3 species (p < 0.01) and polyunsaturated GM3 (p = 0.01).
