Metformin treatment normalizes hepatic content an synthesis rate of ceramide and diacylglycerol in the liver of rats fed HFD diet. Panel A and B present a total ceramide and diacylglycerol content in rat liver, respectively; Panels in the C row show the content of ceramide and diacylglycerol molecular species with established FSR. Panels in the D row present respective FSR values of the individual lipid species from the panels in the C row. Panel E and F present hepatic protein content of SPT and CerS4. Values are mean +/− SD. Symbols denote statistical significance of p < 0.05 versus: a- vs. Control group; *- vs. HFD group. n = 8 per group; Significance by Anova with Tukey HSD post-hoc test.
