FTH1 and heart failure: In addition, the expression of GPX4 and ferritin (Fth1) was significantly downregulated in a pressure overload-induced heart failure model in rats, while knockdown of TLR4 or NOX4 gene restored the expression of GPX4 and Fth1 in cardiomyocytes and improved ventricular remodeling and LV function in rats with heart failure [76].
