Labile Fe2+ converts H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals, driving phospholipid peroxidation that consumes GSH and disables GPX4-dependent detoxification. Membrane damage, mitochondrial failure, and further ROS production then increase the substrate load for Fenton chemistry, reinforcing ferroptotic commitment. This loop is especially plausible in substantia nigra neurons with high iron and oxidative burden.
Oxidative DNA damage hyperactivates PARP1, rapidly consuming NAD+ and collapsing ATP production. Bioenergetic failure impairs mitochondrial respiration, increases ROS, promotes PAR polymer signaling and AIFM1 translocation, and thereby feeds additional oxidative damage back into the system. This is the clearest closed feedback loop linking ROS, organelle failure, and executioner death signaling.
Convergent vs Divergent Predictions
This summary checks where the selected hypotheses point toward the same target or mechanism, and where they pull in opposite directions.
