Sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. It is considered as a global major health priority. Sepsis is characterized by significant metabolic perturbations, leading to increased circulating metabolites such as lactate. In mammals, pyruvate is the primary substrate for lactate production. It plays a critical role in metabolism by linking glycolysis, where it is produced, with the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway, where it is oxidized. Here, we provide an overview of all cytosolic and mitochondrial enzymes involved in pyruvate metabolism and how their activities are disrupted in sepsis. Based on the available data, we also discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pyruvate-related enzymes leading to enhanced survival. C. Libert & colleagues provide an overview of all cytosolic and mitochondrial enzymes involved in pyruvate metabolism and of their activities in the context of sepsis. They further discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pyruvate-related enzymes leading to enhanced survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
