Plant sterol ester of α-linolenic acid protects against ferroptosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease via activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Summary: Fatty liver disease is a growing problem that can damage liver cells through a process called "ferroptosis"—a type of cell death caused by too much iron and fat. Scientists tested a natural plant-based compound called PS-ALA to see if it could help. They found that PS-ALA acts like a shield for the liver. It turns on a special healing pathway in the body (called Nrf2) that cleans up harmful iron, reduces toxic stress, and stops the liver cells from dying. This means PS-ALA could be a highly promising new way to prevent and treat fatty liver disease!
