Blood glucosylceramide levels in Gaucher's disease and its distribution amongst lipoprotein fractions.
Plasma glucosylceramide levels in eight patients with Gaucher's disease showed a 2 to 7-fold elevation over normal levels whereas erythrocyte glucosylceramide levels were within the normal range. The majority of the glucosylceramide elevation was associated with the low density lipoprotein fraction.
