Iron Metabolism and Ferroptosis in Atherosclerosis
Iron metabolism is strongly connected to oxidative stress, the excessive production of reactive oxygen species and other oxidative molecules that outpaces the ability of cells to avoid, resist, or repair the consequent damage. It can lead to a form of programmed cell death called ferroptosis. Here,
