Studies in skeletal muscle demonstrate that elevation of plasma FFAs increases the
sphingolipid ceramide. We aimed to determine the impact of FFA oversupply on total
sphingolipid profiles in a skeletal muscle model. C2C12 myotubes were treated with
palmitate (PAL). Lipidomics analysis revealed pleiotropic effects of PAL on cell sphingolipids
not limited to ceramides. 13 C labeling demonstrated that PAL activated several branches of
sphingolipid synthesis by distinct mechanisms. Intriguingly, PAL increased sphingosine-1 …
