Furthermore, the combination of hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance activates ferroptosis due to decreased levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and glutathione, increased glutathione + glutathione disulfide and malondialdehyde, aberrant expression of ferroptosis-associated genes (Acsl4, Tfrc, Slc7a11, and Gclc), increased iron deposition, and activated ERK/p38/JNK phosphorylation in the gravid uterus and placenta [126]. The gene discussed is GPX4; the disease is Insulin resistance.
