Notably, Th17 cells can also enhance the expression of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13 in chondrocytes while reducing the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-2), type II collagen, proteoglycans, and link proteins, all of which promote cartilage degradation and exacerbate cartilage damage (118) ( Figure 3 )
A B12 shot is an intramuscular injection of either cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin, two forms of Vitamin B12

Here we show that oral intake of long-term oscillating glucose (LOsG) (4 times/day) for 38 days, which produces physiological glycemic variability in rats, can lead to -cells gaining metabolic memory in reactive oxygen species (ROS) stress
Excessively high iron ion levels within cells can lead to hydroxyl radical production via the Fenton reaction through interactions with hydrogen peroxide, thus promoting ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and the generation of oxidative byproducts such as MDA that are highly toxic, contributing to ferroptosis (Zeng et al., 2019)
