Deskripsi

Catalytic iron is associated with intensive care unit mortality and is known to cause free radical-mediated cellular toxicity. Here the authors show that a soluble ferrostatin-analogue (a ferroptosis inhibitor) protects mice from injury and death in experimental iron overload induced and genetic models of organ dysfunction, but not sepsis-induced multiorgan dysfunction.
