Weight gain and ceramide expression in plasma and adipose tissue of C57BL/6J mice in response to a HFD. Fat pad weight (A) and ceramide levels in plasma (total (B) and ceramide species (C)) and adipose tissues (total (D), ceramide species in epididymal fat (E), and ceramide species in subcutaneous fat (F)) were determined from C57BL/6J mice placed on a LFD or HFD for 16 weeks. For B and D, total ceramide is the sum of individual ceramide species. In all panels, data are means (n = 6) ± S.D. For B, plasma ceramide in LFD versus HFD, p < 0.01. For D, epididymal fat pad LFD versus HFD, p < 0.05; subcutaneous fat pad LFD versus HFD, p < 0.001.
