Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of end stage renal with unmet clinical demands for treatment. Lipids are essential cell survival; however, cells have limited capability to metabolize overloaded lipids. Dyslipidaemia common in DKD patients and ectopic lipid accumulation associated progression. Unveiling the molecular mechanism involved regulation crucial exploring potential therapeutic targets. In this review, we focused on underlying cholesterol, oxysterol fatty acid metabolism disorder context DKD. Specific regulators different compartment TREM2 macrophages, lipid‐related macrophages DKD, were discussed. The role sodium‐glucose transporter 2 inhibitors improving was summarized.

Oxysterols are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol produced by enzymatic activity or non-enzymatic pathways (auto-oxidation). The oxidation processes lead to the synthesis about 60 different oxysterols. Several oxysterols have physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological activities. effects on cell death processes, especially apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, oxiapoptophagy, as well their action proliferation, reviewed here. These effects, also observed in several cancer lines, could potentially be useful treatment. differentiation described.

The study explores the intricate relationship between aging and development of noncommunicable diseases [NCDs], focusing on whether these are inevitable consequences or primarily driven by lifestyle factors. By examining epidemiological data, particularly from hunter-gatherer societies, highlights that many NCDs prevalent in modern populations rare suggesting a significant influence choices.
