MeSH definition : Lipids containing at least one monosaccharide residue and either a sphingoid or a
ceramide (CERAMIDES). They are subdivided into NEUTRAL GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS comprising
monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylsphingoids and monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylceramides;
and ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS which comprises sialosylglycosylsphingolipids (GANGLIOSIDES);
SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS (formerly known as sulfatides), glycuronoglycosphingolipids,
and phospho- and phosphonoglycosphingolipids. (From IUPAC's webpage);
