(DAG) and ceramides impair insulin metabolic signaling and prompt diabetic cardiomyopathy. In this regard‚ the increased DAG in cardiomyocytes impairs glucose metabolism through activation of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms [24]. Ceramides are a family of bioactive waxy lipid molecules composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid [24]. Ceramide directly activates the atypical PKCs to phosphorylate and inhibit the insulin metabolic Akt/PKB signaling and thus inhibit GLUT4 translocation and insulin-stimulated
