metabolic map highlighting systemic metabolic shifts during cellular
senescence. Reaction arrow thickness and color coding correspond to
relative Mass Action Ratios (rMAR) magnitude changes (day 8
versus day 35; all ratios greater than two are shaded red and black
is 0). Three subsystems of metabolism are highlighted, sugar
metabolism for energy (orange), amino acid/glutathione metabolism for
redox homeostasis (green), and fatty acid metabolism for
membrane/structural maintenance (pink). High rMAR reactions
(thick, red arrows, rMAR R2) reflect bottlenecks with
accumulation of enzyme substrates, identifying potential
‘‘age-limited’’ enzymes (the corresponding metabolites are
highlighted in blue text). Metabolic subsystems are labeled in
black font text.
