Contrary to recent claims, in vitro evidence has been obtained to establish that Concanavalin A (Con A) is not a ferritin. Four techniques including immunoprecipitation, gel filtration, sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation and CsCl centrifugation were employed. None of them showed that Con A is a ferritin.

Background: Ferroptosis is a key process in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity and is a potentially important therapeutic target. Thymoquinone (TQ) is a monoterpenoid compound isolated from black cumin extract that exhibits antitumor effects and acts as a powerful mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant. In this study, we investigated the effect of TQ on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the potential underlying mechanisms.

One of the ways Aflatoxin B1 damages the liver is through ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is characterized by the build-up of lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to an excess of iron. Dietary supplements have emerged as a promising strategy for treating ferroptosis in the liver.
