Regulation of sphingolipid and glycosphingolipid metabolism in extrahepatic tissues by endotoxin

The host response to infection and inflammation is associated with multiple alterations in lipid metabolism. We have shown that endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] stimulates hepatic sphingolipid synthesis and increases ceramide and glucosylceramide (GlcCer) content in circulating lipoproteins in S...
