nadph oxidase glutathione NADPH—The Forgotten Reducing Equivalent oxidase inhibitor (IC50 = 10 μM) NADPH and Glutathione Redox Link

Lower GPX4 levels trigger oxidative damage and cell toxicity, resulting in reduced corneal epithelial cell survival and impaired wound healing ability

This protective function may help maintain skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote an overall healthier complexion

Since in particular the decrease of reduced thiols (most often glutathione) cannot be mechanistically caused by the same metal-centered mechanism that has been highlighted above for mercury, alternative biologically plausible pathways need to be searched for

A doctor can also write the ICD-10 code hypokalemia unspecified when the cause is not yet obvious
