Another naturally occurring sphingolipid, sphingosine-1-phosphate, has been shown in vitro to modulate the expression of GPX4 and FPN1, and TFRC, which may contribute to reduce radiation-induced ferroptosis in KGN cells (Zhao et al., 2023)
Given that GLP-1 medications reduce appetite, patients may struggle to meet protein requirements and should prioritise protein-rich foods at each meal
