Abstract
After adjusting for sex, age, and BMI, no differences existed between the groups for fat oxidation or 24-h RQ. However, ceramides C18:1, C:20, C22, C24 and C24:1 were significantly higher in people with T2DM compared to ND whereas no differences existed for C16 and C18. Despite low amounts of muscle ceramides, fat oxidation rates were positively associated with ceramide species concentration in ND only. Our data suggests that ceramides do not interfere with whole-body fat oxidation in ND individuals whereas a persistent lipid oversupply results in excessive ceramide muscle accumulation in people with T2DM.
