To confirm the effect of EA on ferroptosis regulation, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and iron were determined. Briefly, the brain tissues were isolated and perfused with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Then, the obtained samples were mechanically homogenized, and the supernatants were collected for analysis. The levels of MDA, GSH, SOD, and total iron in the brain tissues were determined using the MDA assay kit (Cat#BC0025, Solarbio), GSH assay kit (Cat#BC1175, Solarbio), SOD assay kit (Cat#BC0175, Solarbio), and iron assay kit (Cat#A039-2-1, njjcbio6), according to the manufacturer's protocols.
