Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 upregulates the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 signaling pathway to mitigate hepatocyte ferroptosis in chronic liver injury

Ferroptosis plays an essential role in chronic liver diseases, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) affects liver fibrosis through multiple mechanisms. However, research on COX-2 regulation of ferroptosis in ...

Inhibition of Cyclooxygenase-2 Upregulates the Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related Factor 2 Signaling Pathway to Mitigate Hepatocyte Ferroptosis in Chronic Liver Injury (IMAGE)

COX-2 plays a pivotal role in ferroptosis during the progression of chronic liver disease, as it downregulates the Nrf2 signaling pathway, exacerbating ferroptosis, which is characterized by ferrous ...
