Genetic, dietary, and sex-specific regulation of hepatic ceramides and the relationship between hepatic ceramides and IR [S]

Abstract excerpt

Elevated hepatic ceramide levels have been implicated in both insulin resistance (IR) and hepatic steatosis. To understand the factors contributing to hepatic ceramide levels in mice of both sexes, we have quantitated ceramides in a reference population of mice, the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel that has been previously characterized for a variety of metabolic syndrome traits. We observed significant positive...
