Notes: C16 Ceramide is a sphingolipid. It incorporates into the mitochondrial outer membrane and forms channels that increase its permeability.{58842} C16 Ceramide levels are increased by PPMP or MAPP in isolated human neutrophils and are correlated with an increase in apoptosis.{19145} It accumulates in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis compared with the lungs of patients with pulmonary hypertension.{58843} Plasma levels of C16 ceramide are also increased in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and an increased plasma ratio of C16 to C24:0 ceramide is associated with major adverse cardiac events.{58844} It is also increased in tumor tissue from patients with breast cancer and is associated with metastatic cancer.{58845}
