Enhanced insulin sensitivity associated with provision of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids in skeletal muscle cells involves counter modulation of PP2A [PDF]
International audienceAims/Hypothesis: Reduced skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity is a feature associated with sustained exposure to excess saturated fatty acids (SFA), whereas mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA) not only improve ...

Open field study of some Zea mays hybrids, lipid compounds and fumonisins accumulation [PDF]
Lipid molecules are increasingly recognized as signals exchanged by organisms interacting in pathogenic and/or symbiotic ways. Some classes of lipids actively determine the fate of the interactions.

The ART of Lowering Ceramides [PDF]
Ceramides are lipid metabolites implicated in the metabolic dysregulation that accompanies dyslipidaemia and obesity. Using a genetic mouse model to acutely degrade ceramides in adipose tissue or the liver (i.e., by conditionally expressing acid ceramidase), in this issue of Cell MetabolismXia et al. (2015) identify roles for these molecules in insulin

Detergent-Resistant, Ceramide-Enriched Domains in Sphingomyelin/Ceramide Bilayers [PDF]
When cell membranes are treated with Triton X-100 or other detergents at 4 degrees C, a nonsolubilized fraction can often be recovered, the "detergent-resistant membranes", that is not found when detergent treatment takes place at 37 degrees C. Detergent-resistant membranes may be related in some cases to membrane "rafts".

A selective inhibitor of ceramide synthase 1 reveals a novel role in fat metabolism
Specific forms of the lipid ceramide, synthesized by the ceramide synthase enzyme family, are believed to regulate metabolic physiology. Genetic mouse models have established C16 ceramide as a driver of insulin resistance in liver and adipose tissue. C18

Developmental Comparison of Ceramide in Wild-Type and Cln3Δex7/8 Mouse Brains and Sera
CLN3 disease is a neurodevelopmental disease leading to early visual failure, motor decline, and death. CLN3 pathogenesis has been linked to dysregulation of ceramide, a key intracellular messenger impacting various biological functions.

Fucosyltransferase 1 and 2 play pivotal roles in breast cancer cells. [PDF]
FUT1 and FUT2 encode alpha 1, 2-fucosyltransferases which catalyze the addition of alpha 1, 2-linked fucose to glycans. Glycan products of FUT1 and FUT2, such as Globo H and Lewis Y, are highly expressed on malignant tissues, including breast cancer ...
