Abstract excerpt
Degeneration and death of motor neurons in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are associated with increased lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation is the driver of ferroptosis, an iron-dependent oxidative mode of cell death. However, the importance of ferroptosis in motor neuron degeneration of ALS remains unclear. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) is a key enzyme in suppressing ferroptosis by reducing...
