iron overload) is a metabolic disorder that leads to abnormally elevated iron stores in the body. The excess iron may accumulate in the tissues of the liver, pancreas, and heart, which can lead to inflammation, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Hemochromatosis is aninherited disease....
of ferroptosis in various forms of liver disease, and we provide new perspectives regarding the physiological role of the liver in processing nutrients and iron metabolism, as well as the potential mechanisms that underlie hepatic cell death and the pathophysiological pathways involved in liver disease...
