Sphingolipid metabolism is strongly associated with central nervous system myelination. Ceramide is the most active of the sphingolipid metabolites. On the basis of ceramide biosynthesis indicated by serine palmitoyltransferase activity and cerebroside generated by ceramide, the evaluation of serine palmitoyltransferase activity in developing brains or hypoxic-ischemic damaged brains is worthwhile.
