Astrocytes can offer neurons energy substrate [20], regulate local blood flow [21], help with drainage of interstitial fluid [22], hold synapse growth and plasticity [23], express benefits on function and behavior about neural circuits [24], and keep the balance state of extracellular fluid,ions, and neurotransmitters [25]

also discovered a link between renal cell ferroptosis and high glucose conditions, with diabetic mice and human renal proximal tubular (HK-2) cells under high glucose conditions displaying iron overload, reduced antioxidant capacity, ROS accumulation, and lipid peroxidation
In practice, simultaneous application is problematic: a 2022 Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study found that applying both at the same time increased transepidermal water loss by 41% and produced 3.2 times more self-reported stinging compared to staggered application
