Genetic Architecture of Circulating Very-Long-Chain (C24:0 and C22:0) Ceramide Concentrations
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Objective: Total ceramide concentrations are linked with increased insulin resistance and cardiac dysfunction. However, recent studies have demonstrated that plasma concentrations of specific very-long-chain fatty ceramides (C24:0 and C22:0) are associated with a reduced incidence of coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality. We hypothesized that specific genetic loci are associated with plasma C22:0 and...
