Bioactivity | C16 1-Deoxyceramide (m18:1/16:0) (C16:0 1-Deoxyceramide) is a lipid molecule, which is composed of a long-chain fatty acid (16:0) and a 1-deoxysphingoid backbone. Deoxyceramide accumulates under the conditions of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Deoxyceramide is unable to be further metabolized to more complex sphingolipid, and is toxic when accumulates in the body. Deoxyceramide increases in differentiated adipocytes in vitro[1]. |
