It is certain that while B1 cells from the spleen did not die of iron during GPX4 deficiency, B1 cells taken from the abdominal cavity of mice experienced a higher degree of ferroptosis at the time of GPX4 defect (166) ( Figure 3 )
Glutathione is an antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals to support cellular function and homeostasis
[16] Targeted disruption of the mitochondrial GPX4 isoform (mGPX4) caused infertility in male mice and disruption of the nuclear GPX4 isoform (nGPX4) reduced the structural stability of sperm chromatin, yet both knockout mouse models (for mGPX4 and nGPX4) were fully viable
