Core Tip Ferroptosis is critically involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, primarily through the coordinated disruption of iron homeostasis, lipid peroxidation processes, and antioxidant defense mechanisms. Ferroptosis is characterized by morphological and biochemical features that differentiate it from apoptosis and necrosis; the inhibition of ferroptosis results in the reduction of injury markers, improving liver function in an experimental setting. Beyond its established analgesic properties, sufentanil may confer hepatoprotective effects by modulating pathways associated with ferroptosis. Investigating the interplay between sufentanil and ferroptotic mechanisms could yield valuable therapeutic strategies that enhance clinical outcomes in liver surgery and transplantation.
