Fig. 5From: Targeting programmed cell death in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD): a promising new therapyThe molecular mechanism of ferroptosis and its relationship with MAFLD. The Fenton reaction and lipoxygenase regulation of ferroptosis via three regulatory pathways. Inhibition of the xc-system leads to depletion of GSH and excessive iron deposition through the Fenton reaction, causing lipid peroxidation and further leading to the progression of MAFLDBack to article page
