While the lens is presumably able to source vitamin C and/or DHA from vitreous humor (Figure 5), it is unknown whether SVCT2 and GLUT1 are expressed at the posterior surface of the lens in order to facilitate this
Excessive intracellular levels of iron ions generate hydroxyl radicals through the Fenton reaction interacting with hydrogen peroxide, thus promoting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause lipid peroxidation and are believed to be the primary driver of ferroptotic cell death (Su et al., 2019), and this peroxidative damage can be further exacerbated by reductions in the activity of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and glutathione (GSH) together with enhanced malondialdehyde (MDA) activity (Conrad and Sato, 2012
