Curcumin attenuates myocardial ischemia‑reperfusion‑induced autophagy‑dependent ferroptosis via Sirt1/AKT/FoxO3a signaling.

Curcumin (Cur) effectively attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI). MIRI has a complex mechanism and is associated with autophagy‑dependent ferroptosis. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine whether autophagy‑dependent ferroptosis occurs in MIRI and assess the mechanism of Cur in attenuating MIRI.
