Although ample evidence links hepatic lipid accumulation with hepatic insulin resistance, the mechanistic basis of this association is incompletely understood and controversial. Diacylglycerols and ceramides have emerged as the two best-studied putative mediators of lipid-induced hepatic insulin resistance. Both lipids were first associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, and subsequently hypothesized to mediate insulin resistance in liver. However, the putative roles for diacylglycerols and ceramides in hepatic insulin resistance have proved more complex than originally imagined, with various genetic and pharmacologic manipulations yielding a vast and occasionally contradictory trove of data to sort through. In this review, we examine the state of this field, turning a critical eye toward both diacylglycerols and ceramides as putative mediators of lipid-induced hepatic insulin resistance.
