Bioactivity | Glucosylceramides are sphingolipid molecules found in both neuronal and non-neuronal mammalian tissues, as well as in low quantities across various plant species. Elevated levels of glucosylceramides provide cellular protection and prepare certain cells for proliferation; however, they have also been linked to obesity-induced insulin resistance in mice and to neuronal deficits observed in neuronopathic Gaucher disease[1]. |
