Application

C12 Ceramide (d18:1/12:0) or N-lauroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine has been used:
  • as a lipid standard in the optimization of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method conditions
  • as an internal standard for lipid extraction in U87MG (human glioma cell line)
  • as an internal standard for the quantification of ceramide using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in rat tissues

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramides are signaling sphingolipids, which are implicated in regulating stress responses and inflammation. It also regulates cell growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis.

General description

C12 Ceramide (d18:1/12:0) is a synthetic ceramide containing sphingosine with lauric acid.

Sphingolipids (SLs) are structurally diverse lipids that are defined by the presence of a long-chain base (LCB) backbone. Typically, LCBs contain a single Δ4E double bond (DB) (mostly d18:1), whereas the dienic LCB sphingadienine (d18:2) contains a second DB at

Compelling evidence has shown that, besides its putative effect on the regulation of the gonadal axis, estradiol (E2) exerts a dichotomic effect on the hypothalamus to regulate food intake and energy expenditure. The anorectic effect of E2 is mainly mediated
