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

“…Moreover, COS significantly reduced liver reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in DON-exposed mice, while restoring the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC). Further investigations revealed that COS modulated the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-apoptotic proteins through stimulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway. …”
