Abstract
The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the central role of iron (Fe) in terms of cellular alterations of the oxidative/protective balance with special emphasis on its possible involvement in ferroptosis-dependent disruption in aquatic organisms. In ferroptotic cells or tissues, the intracellular Fe level increases; meanwhile the treatment with Fe chelators limits ferroptosis. Eukaryotic algae can assimilate Fe from the environment through several mechanisms, and aquatic animals incorporate dissolved Fe and Fe bound to both inorganic particles and organic matter. The central role of lipid peroxidation mediating ferroptosis was demonstrated in some algae where both low and high… More >
