Chitosan oligosaccharide alleviates DON-induced liver injury via suppressing ferroptosis in mice by Mengjie Liu, Zhenlin Li, Jie Li, Guorong Yan, Chaoqi Liu, Qingqiang Yin, Yeqiang Liu, Xiaoxiang Xu

“…Additionally, COS inhibited ferroptosis by modulating the SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 pathway and the expression of FTH1 and FLC proteins, thereby reducing lipid peroxidation accumulation and iron overload. In summary, this research showed that COS mitigated DON-induced liver injury in mice by alleviating DON-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and ferroptosis via modulating the Nrf2/HO-1/NF-κB and GPX4 signaling pathways. …”
