C16 3'-sulfo Galactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) inhibits retinal ganglion cell growth in vitro.C16 3'-sulfo Galactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) has been used as an internal standard for quantifying C16 3'-sulfo Galactosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) in rat cerebellum and white matter isolated from patients with multiple sclerosis. reference for sulphides. |
| In vitro | C16:0 sulfatide (20 nmol/ml) inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by reducing the sensitivity of the K(ATP) channels to ATP. (The half-maximal inhibitory concentration is 10.3 and 36.7 micromol/l in the absence and presence of C16:0 sulfatide, respectively.) [1] C16:0 sulfatide (20 nmol/ml for 30 min) increased whole-cell K(ATP) currents at intermediate glucose levels and reduced the ability of glucose to induce membrane depolarization, reduced electrical activity, and increased the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration. Recordings of cell capacitance revealed that C16:0 sulfatide increased Ca2+-induced exocytosis by 215%. This correlated with a stimulation of insulin secretion by C16:0 sulfatide in intact rat islets exposed to diazoxide and high K+.[1] C16:0 sulfatide (20 nmol/l for 24 h) did not modulate glucagon secretion from intact rat islets.[1] |
| In vivo | C16:0 sulfatide (1 µmol/kg,1 mL ; Zucker rats) resulted in significantly elevated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (60-80% increase, p < 0.05), without significant changes in glucose tolerance. The treatment was associated with an ameliorated first-phase insulin response (3-4-fold, p = 0.009, 0.016) and a 60% increase of pancreatic sulfatide content (p = 0.001), possible by an uptake of C16:0 sulfatide. The fasting hyperinsulinaemia and blood glucose levels were unchanged.[2] |
