Metabolomic Regulation by Oxidative Stress in Cardiac Diseases: An Overview on the State of the Heart
Author(s): Alan Goncalves Amaral and Aline Marados Santos*
Associations of oxidative stress with Cardio Vascular Diseases (CVDs) are well established; however, the mechanism
underlying cardiac damage caused by Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is not fully understood. ROS are highly reactive
chemical molecules capable of damaging fundamental cellular molecules, including DNA, proteins, and lipids,
leading to metabolic alterations, ultimately resulting in cardiomyocyte dysfunction and heart diseases. This review will
discuss the current state of metabolomics technologies, the pathological implications of oxidative stress in cardiac
tissue, and the metabolic switches in the glucose, lipids, purine and pyrimidines, and glutathione metabolism
orchestrated by oxidative stress and their implications on cardiac diseases. .. View more»
