Lysosphingolipids in ceramide-deficient skin lipid models by Georgios Paraskevopoulos, Lukáš Opálka, Andrej Kováčik, Anna Paraskevopoulou, Eleni Panoutsopoulou, Irene Sagrafena, Petra Pullmannová, Robert Čáp, Kateřina Vávrová

“…However, when the missing ceramides were replaced by lysosphingolipids and FFAs, no further increase in permeability was observed. Conversely, these molecules partially mitigated the negative effects of ceramide deficiency, particularly with 5%–10% SPC, which reduced permeability even compared to control with “healthy” lipid composition. …”

Sheep dietary preferences in targeted grazing: demographic, management, and weather effects in northern mixed-grass prairie by Aaron J. Kersh, Hannah M. Fraley, J. Derek Scasta, Justin D. Derner, Paulo de Mello Taveres Lima, Whit C. Stewart

“…In the second phase (21 d, early-to late-June), the same sheep grazed four 1.5 ha paddocks sequentially at a very light stock density of 7 AU/ha. Dietary composition was assessed through focal bite count observations at the plant functional group level for phase one only, and dietary composition was estimated through fecal DNA metabarcoding (f.DNA) at the plant species level for both phases. …”

An Overview of Heavy Metal Contamination of Water and Its Effect on Human Health by Danjuma, M.S., Abdulkadir, B.

“…These heavy metals become toxic in the living system when they are not metabolized by the body and leads to accumulation in the soft tissue. It was observed that this toxic effect can result into damaged or reduced mental and central nervous system function, lower energy levels and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidney, liver, and other vital or essential organs in human beings and other mammals. …”
