  1. Selenocysteine decreases oxidative stress and ROS signaling.

    “selenocysteine is incorporated into key antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidases (GPx) and thioredoxin reductases (TrxR). These molecules play pivotal roles in neutralizing ROS”

Ferroptosis inducers shorten lifespan in fruitflies

Erastin and RSL3 shortened survival dose-dependently, an effect rescued by ferrostatin-1, while altering iron and lipid profiles selectively in males.Erastin and RSL3 shortened survival dose-dependently, an effect rescued by ferrostatin-1, while altering iron and lipid profiles selectively in males.
