Protein and lipid nitration represent novel footprints of oxidative and nitrative stress processes. In this review, we first discuss the mechanisms of formation of protein 3-nitrotyrosine and nitrated fatty acids as well as their key biological and signaling actions. Elevation of protein 3-nitrotyrosine levels is associated to tissue injury, and some specific nitrated proteins play a causative role in disease progression; on the other hand, the substantiation on the role of tyrosine nitration on redox signaling is rather scarce. Herein, we also provide evidence to support that the nitration of lipids (i.e. to nitrofatty acids) results in the formation of novel endogenous modulators of redox processes, partially counteracting pro-inflammatory effects of oxidant exposure.
