This process is driven by disrupted GSH homeostasis, resulting from diminished GSH synthesis and impaired activity of two critical antioxidant systems: (1) the cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT, which imports cystine to fuel GSH production and (2) GPX4, which utilizes GSH to convert lipid peroxides into less toxic lipid alcohols (Stockwell et al., 2017
