Survival response to increased ceramide involves metabolic adaptation through novel regulators of glycolysis and lipolysis.

The sphingolipid ceramide elicits several stress responses, however, organisms survive despite increased ceramide but how they do so is poorly understood. We demonstrate here that the AKT/FOXO pathway regulates survival in increased ceramide environment by metabolic adaptation involving changes in g...
