Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress: An Integral, Updated and Critical Overview of Their Metabolic Interconnections

Patricia Gonzalez et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the complex relationship between oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, and diabetes and related metabolic disorders. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to glucose metabolism and oxidative stress leads to hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and cellular damage. Hyperglycemia further promotes glucose metabolism through various routes, exacerbating ROS formation and diabetes complications. Transcription factors NF-κB and Nrf2 play important roles in regulating pro-oxidant and antioxidant proteins, while the involvement of FoxO is controversial. This review summarizes the key factors linking hyperglycemia-enhanced glucose metabolic routes with ROS formation and emphasizes the role of transcription factors in maintaining a balance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant proteins.
