Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, characterized by abnormal accumulation of iron and lipid peroxides (lipid ROS) in cells, disrupting REDOX balance and ultimately leading to cell death, mainly caused by loss of glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) activity in cells ( A study on the mechanism by which metformin-induced ferroptosis inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells found that metformin can increase intracellular Fe2+ and lipid ROS levels, and can also induce ferroptosis in breast cancer cells by up-regulating miR-324-3p to inhibit GPX4 expression
Foods rich in healthy fats, like avocados and nuts, can further support this hormone's production
The connection between the placenta and decidua is bidirectional, with the secreted factors of each tissue regulating the function of the other tissue ( Figure 3 )
HUBERMAN: It's the fact that even though we know a lot about the human body and the various hormones and neuromodulators like dopamine, serotonin, et cetera, that are made, this landscape of peptides is an enormous one
