SCD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: <i>In vivo</i>, the YZTLF treatment attenuated bleomycin-induced lung injury, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, preserved alveolar architecture, and reduced collagen deposition, alongside normalizing of HIF-1α/LSH/SCD1 signaling and restoration of antioxidant levels.<h4>Conclusion</h4>These findings indicate that YZTLF mitigates IPF progression in the context of Qi deficiency and blood stasis by suppressing ferroptosis-driven inflammation and remodeling the hypoxic microenvironment via the HIF-1α/LSH/SCD1 pathway.
