Brain ganglioside GM3 levels in AD mice are reduced after glucosylceramide (GlcCer) synthase inhibitor (GCSi) treatment. A Overview of the glycosphingolipid pathway (Glc, glucose; LacCer, lactosylceramide; GM3, GM2 and GM1, ganglioside GM3, GM2 and GM1; UGCG, GlcCer synthase; B4galT6, LacCer synthase; B4galnt1, GM3 synthase; B3galnt1, GM2 synthase; St3gal5, GM1 synthase). B WT mice feature regional variation in GlcCer and GM3 levels in the cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. C AD (Tg2576) mice treated with GCSi show significant reductions in GM3 levels in the amygdala and cortex. Columns not connected by the same letter are significantly (p = 0.01) different from each other. Error bars represent ± SEM
