Abstract

Iron overload increases the production of harmful reactive oxygen species in the Fenton reaction, which causes oxidative stress in the body and lipid peroxidation in the cell membrane, and eventually leads to ferroptosis. Diabetes is associated with increased intracellular oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, microRNA alterations, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which cause cardiac remodeling and cardiac diastolic contractile dysfunction, leading to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). While these factors are also closely associated with ferroptosis, more and more studies have shown that iron-mediated ferroptosis is an important causative factor in DCM. In order to gain fresh insights into the functions of ferroptosis in DCM, this review methodically summarizes the traits and mechanisms connected with ferroptosis and DCM.
