When the mitochondrial electron transport chain is protected from oxidative interference, the enzymes responsible for ATP synthesis can function more efficiently
Blocking this antioxidant axis with SLC7A11 and GPX4 inhibitors (ferroptosis inducers) such as the small-molecule Erastin and RSL3, respectively, leads to uncontrolled accumulation of lipid peroxides at the plasma membrane and other endomembranes within the cell, which promotes membrane permeabilization, damages membrane integrity and ultimately induces ferroptosis [34, 38]
