After the recovery period, several samples showed increased antibody titers in the highest dosing group, but the maximum titer in any individual monkey serum sample was 540 following the recovery period (Fig
in vitro experiments demonstrated that SGK1 knockdown attenuated erastin-induced downregulation of Slc7a11, GPX4, GSH, and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), while reducing lipid peroxidation, iron accumulation, and mitochondrial damage upregulation, suggesting SGK1's critical role in CHD-associated ferroptosis (44)
