    from our blood glucose levels being too high. First again the pancreas will detect that blood glucose levels are too low and as a result secrete insulin from the B cells of the islets of langerhans. The insulin secreted will cause blood glucose levels to fall because many body cells have glycoprotein receptors on their cell surface membrane and so when insulin binds to a glucose transport cell it causes a change in the tertiary structure and as a result they open and allow more glucose into the cells

    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 glucose
