Abstract
Membrane microdomains rich in cholesterol and sphingolipids, including gangliosides (GGs), are known to be important regions for cell signaling and binding sites for various pathogens. Cholesterol depletion inhibits the cellular entry of pathogens and also reduces inflammatory signals by disrupting microdomain structure. Our previous study showed that dietary gangliosides increased total ganglioside incorporation while decreasing cholesterol in the intestinal mucosa. We hypothesized that diet-induced reduction in cholesterol content in the intestinal mucosa disrupts microdomain structure resulting in reduced pro-inflammatory signals. Male weanling Sprague-Dawley rats were fed semipurified diets for 2 weeks. Experimental diets were formulated to include either ganglioside-enriched lipid (GG diet, 0.02% gangliosides [w/w of diet] ) or polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA diet, 1% arachidonic acid and 0.5% docosahexaenoic acid, w/w of total fat), in a control diet containing 20% fat. Levels of cholesterol, GG, caveolin, platelet activating factor (PAF), and diglyceride (DG) were measured in the microdomain isolated from the intestinal brush border. The GG diet increased total gangliosides by 50% with a relative increase in GD3 and a relative decrease in GM3. Cholesterol content was also reduced by 23% in the intestinal microdomain. These changes resulted in a significant decrease in the ratio of cholesterol to ganglioside. The GG diet and the PUFA diet were both associated with reduction in caveolin, PAF, and DG content in microdomains, whereas no change occurred in the ganglioside profile of animals fed the PUFA diet. Dietary gangliosides decrease the cholesterol/ganglioside ratio, caveolin, PAF and DG content in microdomains thus exerting a potential anti-inflammatory effect during gut development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
