Abstract:
In recent years, pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has gained increasing attention in the field of metabolic disease research. Pyroptosis is closely associated with inflammatory responses. A growing body of evidence suggests that pyroptosis not only plays a critical role in regulating inflammation but can also influence metabolic status, cellular function, and tissue damage through multiple pathways, thereby either exacerbating or alleviating the progression of metabolic diseases. However, the precise molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis and its roles across different metabolic diseases remain unclear, and investigations into related therapeutic targets are still in early stages. Systematically elucidating the mechanisms by which pyroptosis contributes to metabolic diseases and exploring its potential roles in inflammation and pathophysiology may provide new insights and strategies for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders, and further promote advances in this research field.
