Abstract The muscular system plays a critical role in the human body by governing skeletal movement, cardiovascular function, and activities of digestive organs. Additionally, muscle tissues serve an endocrine function secreting myogenic cytokines, thereby regulating metabolism throughout entire body. Maintaining requires iron homeostasis. Recent studies suggest that disruptions ferroptosis, form iron-dependent cell death, are essential contributors to progression wide range diseases disorders, including sarcopenia, cardiomyopathy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Thus, comprehensive overview mechanisms ferroptosis these conditions is crucial for identifying potential therapeutic targets developing new strategies disease treatment and/or prevention. This review aims summarize recent advances understanding molecular underlying context injury, as well associated disorders. Moreover, we discuss within pathway possible managing Finally, shed light on current limitations future prospects interventions targeting ferroptosis.

Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with severe complications such as stroke and heart failure. Although the precise mechanisms underlying AF remain elusive, inflammation acknowledged pivotal factor in its progression. Angiotensin II (AngII) implicated promoting atrial remodeling inflammation. However, exact pathways through which AngII exacerbates are still not fully defined. This study explores key molecular involved, including dysregulation of calcium ions, altered connexin expression, activation signaling TGF-β, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, NF-κB/NLRP3, Rac1/JAK/STAT3. These instrumental contributing to fibrosis, electrical remodeling, increased susceptibility AF. Ang II-induced disrupts ion channel function, resulting structural atria significantly elevating risk Anti-inflammatory treatments RAAS inhibitors, colchicine, statins have demonstrated potential reducing incidence AF, although clinical outcomes inconsistent. manuscript underscores link between AngII-induced development proposing importance targeting management

One of the main underlying etiologies type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is insulin resistance, which most frequently caused by obesity. Notably, deregulation adipokine secretion from visceral adiposity has been identified as a crucial characteristic and Spexin an that released many different tissues, including white adipocytes glandular stomach, negatively connected with state energy storage. This peptide acts through GALR2/3 receptors to control wide range metabolic processes, inflammation, browning, lipolysis, expenditure, eating behavior. Specifically, spexin can enter hypothalamus regulate hypothalamic melanocortin system, in turn balances expenditure food intake. review examines recent advances mechanisms obesity T2DM. In particular, we address topics basic research clinical findings, such analysis possible function response, involves reducing intake increasing while also enhancing sensitivity glucose tolerance. Gaining more insight into underlie system's over metabolism homeostasis may facilitate development innovative treatment approaches focus on combating diabetes.
