Abstract
En 中文
Serum ceramides, especially C16:0 and C18:0 species, are linked to CVD risk and insulin resistance, but details of this association are not well understood. We performed this study to quantify a broad range of serum sphingolipids in individuals spanning the physiologic range of insulin sensitivity and to determine if dihydroceramides cause insulin resistance in vitro. As expected, we found that serum triglycerides were significantly greater in individuals with obesity and T2D compared with athletes and lean individuals. Serum ceramides were not signifi-cantly different within groups but, using all ceramide data relative to insulin sensitivity as a continuous variable, we observed significant inverse relation-ships between C18:0, C20:0, and C22:0 species and in-sulin sensitivity. Interestingly, we found that total serum dihydroceramides and individual species were significantly greater in individuals with obesity and T2D compared with athletes and lean individuals, with C18:0 species showing the strongest inverse relationship to insulin sensitivity. Finally, we administered a physiological mix of dihydrocer-amides to primary myotubes and found decreased insulin sensitivity in vitro without changing the overall intracellular sphingolipid content, suggesting a direct effect on insulin resistance. These data extend what is known regarding serum sphingolipids and insulin resistance and show the importance of serum dihydroceramides to predict and promote in-sulin resistance in humans.
