Targeting activated hepatic stellate cells through ferroptosis: phenethyl isothiocyanate attenuates CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by regulating iron metabolism, redox homeostasis, and autophagy.
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a dietary compound from cruciferous vegetables, is known for its chemopreventive activity, but its effects on liver fibrosis remain largely unexplored. In this study, we show that PEITC administration attenuated carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic injury and fibrosis in mice, a...
