Moreover, iPLA2, a member of the calcium-independent phospholipase A2 family, functions independently of glutathione by cleaving oxidized fatty acid chains from phospholipids, directly removing peroxidized products, effectively detoxifying damaged lipids, and maintaining membrane integrity ( In summary, lipid peroxidation is central in ferroptosis, driven by ROS-mediated oxidative damage to PUFAs in cellular membranes
Notably, it targets specific adipose tissue areas, making it a prospective solution for localized fat reduction, a phenomenon commonly referred to as spot reduction. This attribute has piqued the interest of both the cosmetic and fitness industries, where targeted fat loss is a desirable outcome
