Historically, LacCers were quantified predominantly as a total lipid subclass, limiting the ability to discern how individual species contribute to biological processes in clinical contexts. Recent advances in mass spectrometry based lipidomics now enable LacCer species to be resolved by acyl-chain length and saturation, offering far greater biochemical and clinical insights.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1462399426100544_sec02\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this narrative review, we examine evidence from population based lipidomic studies describing how LacCer composition varies across healthy and diseased states.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1462399426100544_sec03\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In metabolic and vascular disorders, multiple studies report elevations in specific short- and medium-chain LacCer species, whereas patterns involving longer-chain species appear more heterogeneous.
