RBC 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.
