Cardiomyocytes are packed with structures that are crucial for function, but also confine the diffusional spaces, providing cells with a means to control diffusion. They form compartments in which local concentrations are different from the overall, average concentrations. For example, calcium and cyclic AMP are highly compartmentalized, allowing these versatile second messengers to send different signals depending on their location. In energetic compartmentalization, the ratios of AMP and ADP to ATP are different from the average ratios. This is important for the performance of ATPases fuelling cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and mechanical work. A recent study suggested that compartmentalization modulates the activity of creatine kinase and adenylate kinase in situ. This could have implications for energetic signaling through, for example, AMP-activated kinase.

This review explores their structural oxidative changes under non-enzymatic conditions and their roles in physiological and pathological contexts, influencing inflammation, and immunity. Specific oxidations of PE and PS significantly alter their physicochemical properties, leading to enhanced biological functions, reduced activity, or inactivation. OxPE may show pro-inflammatory actions, similar to well-documented OxPC, while the OxPS pro-inflammatory effects are less noted. However, OxPS and OxPE have also shown an antagonistic effect against lipopolysaccharides (LPS), suggesting a protective role against exacerbated immune responses, similar to OxPC. Further research is needed to deepen our understanding of these less-studied OxPL classes. The role of OxPE and OxPS in disease pathogenesis remains largely unexplored, with limited studies linking them to Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, and skin inflammation.
