Similarly, oral administration of either glutathione or other low-molecular-weight thiols (eg, 2-mercaptopropionylglycine or N-acetyl cysteine) to these patients neither substantially raises intracellular glutathione levels nor alters their acid-base balance or excretion of 5-oxoproline (71
found that DHA triggered ferroptosis to eliminate the activation of HSC, which characterized by iron overload, GSH depletion, lipid ROS accumulation, and peroxidation, whereas Fer-1 and Lip-1 inhibited the DHA effect (93)
