N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
N
• mice exhibit normal liver transaminases and creatine phosphokinase serum activities
• reduced short-chained ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CPE) species, minor reduction of long-chained CPE in the forebrain and cerebellum
• minor decrease in the short-chain CPE species in the testis, kidney, spleen and lung
• however, mice exhibit normal CPE levels in the heart and muscle
• however, mice exhibit normal ceramide and hexosylceramide levels

liver/biliary system
N
• normal liver cells

nervous system
N
• normal brain cells
