Table 1.

Relative content of GM3, GD3 and GD1a gangliosides in intestinal mucosa

	Control (BAP) (n = 6)	Control (CRC) (n = 12)	IBD (n = 11)	Pooled SEM
GM3	27.5^a	24.4^a	48.6^b	3.8
GD3	26.3	39.4	31.4	2.4
GD1a	38.0^c	31.7^c	11.6^d	2.6

Mean total GM3, GD3 and GD1a are reported as average relative percent of total ganglioside within subject groups. Ganglioside species constituting less than 8% of total ganglioside are not listed (GT1a, GM1, GT3). Superscript letters (c, d) denote differences (P < 0.01) among study groups; Superscript letters (a, b) denote differences (P < 0.05) among study groups. SEM: Standard error of the mean; CRC: Colorectal cancer; BAP: Benign adenomatous polyposis; IBD: Inflammatory bowel disease.
