Ferroptosis describes a form of regulated cell death that is driven by unrestricted lipid peroxidation, which does not require the activation of caspase and can be suppressed by iron chelators, lipophilic antioxidants, inhibitors of lipid peroxidation, and depletion of polyunsaturated fatty acids
These reactive aldehydes further disrupt mitochondrial function, activate pro-inflammatory pathways (e.g., NF-B), and sensitize nociceptive neurons, contributing to neuroinflammation, neuronal dysfunction in FM ( Mitochondrial dysfunction in FM is evident from reduced electron transport chain (ETC) activity, lower oxygen consumption in muscle biopsies, and diminished bioenergetic reserve (6)
