Sphingolipids are well-known modulators of metabolic pathways which may contribute to the metabolic differences between adipose tissues. This study aimed to characterise depot-specific sphingolipid profiles in bovine adipose tissues. Subcutaneous (SCAT) and retroperitoneal adipose tissue (RPAT) samples of 6 Holstein bulls were analysed by a targeted metabolomics approach. Abundance of several sphingolipids were different between the depots. Particularly ceramides associated with insulin resistance were higher abundant in RPAT. Assuming that these signals can be released into the circulation, a higher metabolic activity of RPAT might favour insulin resistance.
