Strategies for targeting ferroptosis in treating muscle diseases and disorders. Dysregulated iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, oxidation, and antioxidant imbalances have all been implicated in the development of a variety of diseases and disorders affecting muscles. These muscle diseases and disorders can be treated using either inhibitors (anti-ferroptosis strategies) or inducers (pro-ferroptosis strategies).
