1 | Moreover, studies in cultured cells and isolated tissues implicate sphingolipids in certain cellular events associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, including insulin resistance, pancreatic beta-cell failure, cardiomyopathy, and vascular dysfunction. | Sphingolipids | insulin | Homo sapiens |
2 | However, definitive evidence that sphingolipids contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, and atherosclerosis has come only recently, as researchers have found that pharmacological inhibition or genetic ablation of enzymes controlling sphingolipid synthesis in rodents ameliorates each of these conditions. | Sphingolipids | insulin | Homo sapiens |

4 | Herein we will review the role of ceramide and other sphingolipid metabolites in insulin resistance, beta-cell failure, cardiomyopathy, and vascular dysfunction, focusing on these in vivo studies that identify enzymes controlling sphingolipid metabolism as therapeutic targets for combating metabolic disease. | Sphingolipids | insulin | Homo sapiens |
