Stress is the body’s reaction to any kind of injury or danger. It is linked to the production of oxidative free radicals, which are responsible for a variety of acute, chronic, and potentially fatal illnesses and diseases. Free radicals, due to their extreme reactivity, can harm or even kill cells. A High-Fat Diet (HFD) causes “oxidative stress”, which is characterized by an increase in the body’s generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) as a result of higher levels of triglycerides and Free Fatty Acids (FFA). HFD-induced oxidative stress alters cellular function by affecting transcriptional factors and mitochondrial enzymes (synthesis/inhibition). ROS and FFA damage the receptors of the epithelium, resulting in epithelial damage that impairs cellular function. ROS levels can harm cells by altering the expression of microRNA (miRNA), a sign of RNA damage. MiRNAs are non-coding RNAs found in animals, plants, and some viruses that play a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. These three pathways—RNA cleavage, RNA destabilization, and RNA translation into proteins— all play a role in mRNA expression. The miRNA regulates the up- and downregulation of mRNA expression for cellular function, enzyme synthesis, and receptor modulation. MiRNA regulates cell function by maintaining the balance between cellular ROS levels and cellular damage.
