The study is carried out on adult Psammomys obesus, divided in 4 experimental groups (I) Normoglycemic/Normoinsulinemic; (II) Normoglycemic/Hyperinsulinemic; (III) Hyperglycaemic/Hyperinsulinemic and (IV) Hyperglycaemic/Insulin deficiency with ketoacidosis. The data showed that a drastic depletion of Se plasma levels is positively correlated with HhCys (>15 µmol/L; p  less then  .001), concomitantly with decreased GPx activity, GSH levels, and GSH/GSSG ratio in group IV both in plasma and liver. In contrast, SOD activity is increased (p ≤ .001) in group IV both in plasma and liver. However, plasma Cu and Mn levels increased, while plasma Zn levels decreased in group IV (p  less then  .001). Our study confirms the increase of plasma hCys levels seemed to be a major contributing factor to antioxidant capacities and alters the availability of selenium metabolism by interference with homocysteine synthesis in the insulin secretion deficiency stage.MFN2 (mitofusin 2) is required for mitochondrial fusion and for mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum interaction. Using myeloid-conditional KO mice models, we found that MFN2 but not MFN1 is a prerequisite for the adaptation of mitochondrial respiration to stress conditions as well as for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The deficient ROS production in the absence of MFN2 impairs the induction of cytokines and nitric oxide, and is associated with dysfunctional autophagy, apoptosis, phagocytosis, and antigen processing. The lack of MFN2 in macrophages causes an im
