General description
C16:0 Ceramide (d18:2(4E,8Z)/16:0) or N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (d18:2(4E,8Z) base) is a long chain ceramide derived from sphingosine containing two double bonds with palmitic acid. C16:0 Ceramide synthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme ceramide synthase 6 (CerS6).
Biochem/physiol Actions
C16:0-ceramide facilitates obesity-related insulin resistance. It exhibits pro-apoptotic function. Elevated levels of C16:0-ceramide has been observed in adipose tissue of obese patients.

Ceramides increase during obesity and promote insulin resistance. Ceramides vary in acyl-chain lengths from C14:0 to C30:0 and are synthesized by six ceramide synthase enzymes (CerS1-6). It remains unresolved whether obesity-associated alterations of specific CerSs and their defined acyl-chain length

A substantive literature has accumulated implicating sphingolipids, in particular ceramides, as mediators of insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome. Thanks to recent technical advances in mouse genetics and lipidomics, two independent laboratories identify the same sphingolipid, C16:0-ceramide, as principal mediator of obesity-related
