GSH depletion can trigger ferroptosis, which has been exploited in cancer treatments [17], and supplementation with GSH is utilized by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to prevent lipid peroxidation, in turn inhibiting ferroptosis
Thus, the combined administration of hepsin with NAC optimized the therapeutic outcome, enhancing effectiveness beyond what was achievable with NAC alone
