We showed that regulators of iron metabolism, especially iron regulatory protein activity, were increased in the ischemic myocardium or hypoxia cardiomyocytes. In addition, we found that frataxin, which is involved in iron metabolism, is differentially expressed in the ischemic and reperfused myocardium and involved in the regulation of cardiomyocytes ferroptosis.
