Its also important in the formation of red blood cells
The numbers tell a compelling story: research indicates people with low glutathione levels may be up to 50% more likely to get sick during flu season

GPX4 converts lipid hydroperoxide, which is potentially toxic, to a non-toxic form of lipid alcohol (Ursini et al., 1982)
Human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs exosome attenuate myocardial injury by inhibiting ferroptosis in acute myocardial infarction mice
Another study reports that circRNA clARs regulate ferroptosis through interacting with the RNA binding protein ALKBH5 (Liu et al., 2020)
