Abstract
The mercapturate pathway is a unique metabolic circuitry that detoxifies electrophiles upon adducts formation with glutathione. Since its discovery over a century ago, most of the knowledge on the mercapturate pathway has been provided from biomonitoring studies on environmental exposure to toxicants. However, the mercapturate pathway-related metabolites that is formed in humans-the mercapturomic profile-in health and disease is yet to be established. In this paper, we put forward the hypothesis that these metabolites are key pathophysiologic factors behind the onset and development of non-communicable chronic inflammatory diseases. This review goes from the evidence in the formation of endogenous metabolites undergoing the mercapturate pathway to the methodologies for their assessment and their association with cancer and respiratory, neurologic and cardiometabolic diseases.

期刊介绍：
High-Throughput (formerly Microarrays, ISSN 2076-3905) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides an advanced forum for the publication of studies reporting high-dimensional approaches and developments in Life Sciences, Chemistry and related fields. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results based on high-throughput techniques as well as computational and statistical tools for data analysis and interpretation. The full experimental or methodological details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. High-Throughput invites submissions covering several topics, including, but not limited to: -Microarrays -DNA Sequencing -RNA Sequencing -Protein Identification and Quantification -Cell-based Approaches -Omics Technologies -Imaging -Bioinformatics -Computational Biology/Chemistry -Statistics -Integrative Omics -Drug Discovery and Development -Microfluidics -Lab-on-a-chip -Data Mining -Databases -Multiplex Assays
