TLDR
It is shown here that TLR4 is an upstream signaling component required for saturated fatty acid-induced ceramide biosynthesis, and that sphingolipids such as ceramide might be key components of the signaling networks that link lipid-induced inflammatory pathways to the antagonism of insulin action that contributes to diabetes.Abstract:
Obesity is associated with an enhanced inflammatory response that exacerbates insulin resistance and contributes to diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. One mechanism accounting for the increased inflammation associated with obesity is activation of the innate immune signaling pathway triggered by TLR4 recognition of saturated fatty acids, an event that is essential for lipid-induced insulin resistance. Using in vitro and in vivo systems to model lipid induction of TLR4-dependent inflammatory events in rodents, we show here that TLR4 is an upstream signaling component required for saturated fatty acid–induced ceramide biosynthesis. This increase in ceramide production was associated with the upregulation of genes driving ceramide biosynthesis, an event dependent of the activity of the proinflammatory kinase IKKβ. Importantly, increased ceramide production was not required for TLR4-dependent induction of inflammatory cytokines, but it was essential for TLR4-dependent insulin resistance. These findings suggest that sphingolipids such as ceramide might be key components of the signaling networks that link lipid-induced inflammatory pathways to the antagonism of insulin action that contributes to diabetes.read more

Mechanisms for insulin resistance: common threads and missing links.
TL;DR: This work has shown that changes in fatty acid uptake, lipogenesis, and energy expenditure that can impact ectopic lipid deposition may converge to promote the accumulation of specific lipid metabolites in liver and skeletal muscle, a common final pathway leading to impaired insulin signaling and insulin resistance.

TLR4 links innate immunity and fatty acid–induced insulin resistance
TL;DR: It is suggested that TLR4 is a molecular link among nutrition, lipids, and inflammation and that the innate immune system participates in the regulation of energy balance and insulin resistance in response to changes in the nutritional environment.

TL;DR: It is shown that lipid accumulation in the liver leads to subacute hepatic 'inflammation' through NF-κB activation and downstream cytokine production, which causes insulin resistance both locally in liver and systemically.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that an increase in plasma fatty acid concentration results in a increase in intracellular fatty acyl-CoA and DAG concentrations, which results in activation of PKC-θ leading to increased IRS-1 Ser307 phosphorylation is supported.
