Metformin Inhibits Trophoblast Ferroptosis by Suppressing ATF2 and Activating the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 Pathway to Improve Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.
Metformin suppresses ATF2 expression, activating the PI3K/Akt pathway and promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation. This upregulates GPX4, inhibiting ferroptosis in trophoblast cells. Erastin blocks system Xc−, depleting GSH and promoting ferroptosis. LY294002 and ML385 inhibit the pathway, validating the mechanism.

Inter‐Set Blood‐Flow Restriction Increases Peripheral Physiological Stress While Preserving Repeated‐Sprint Mechanical Output in Trained Athletes

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Inter‐set blood‐flow restriction (BFR) may increase the physiological stimulus of repeated‐sprint exercise without compromising mechanical output, but evidence in trained athletes is limited. In a randomized crossover design, 26 national‐level male badminton players completed three 5 × 5‐s cycling sprints (25‐s intra‐set rest, 3.5‐min inter ...
