Plasma Proteomics Reveals Ferroptosis-Associated Signatures in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
This study utilizes plasma proteomics in a large cohort of overweight individuals to demonstrate that obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with a distinct systemic activation of ferroptosis-related pathways, characterized by elevated redox-responsive proteins and enriched oxidative stress mechanisms, with glycemic status showing a stronger link to these signatures than BMI.
