Metabolic syndrome is defined by hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular complications. We have examined whether inhibition of glycosphingolipid synthesis can interfere with metabolic syndrome in a male mouse model of type II diabetes (db/db). The db/db and control mice (C57/BL6) (n = 6) fed chow for 30 weeks received vehicle (5% Tween-80 in PBS; 100 μl), or a biopolymer-encapsulated D-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (BPD) glycosphingolipid synthesis inhibitor daily via oral gavage for 6 weeks.
