Proposed role of superoxide in mitochondrial membrane damage. Superoxide that is released from the ETC under ferroptotic stimuli may become attached to 4Fe-4S clusters in proteins, notably aconitase, which results in the release of ferrous iron and hydrogen peroxide. PUFA in mitochondrial membrane undergoes peroxidation by ROS and consequently destructs mitochondrial membrane integrity.
