In Vivo Model
Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (70 days old) of both sexes were purchased from the Laboratory Animal Centre of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China. Before the experiment, female rats were allowed to acclimatize for a minimum of 1 week and then were monitored daily by vaginal lavage to determine the stage of the estrous cycle as previously described (Zhanget al., 2016). Pregnancy was achieved by housing female rats on the night of proestrus with fertile males of the same strain at a 2:1 ratio. Confirmation of mating was performed the morning after by the presence of a vaginal plug, and this was considered as GD 0.5. The rats were sacrificed between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. hours on GD 14.5.

Response regulation Previous studies demonstrate that increased uterine and placental ferroptosis is associated with oxidative stress-induced fetal loss in a pre-clinical polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like rat model. N-acetylcysteine treatment results in increased mRNA expression of Aifm2, a negative regulator of GPX4-independent ferroptosis in the placenta. Moreover, NAC reverses HAIR-induced uterine and placental ferroptosis through activation of the Slc7a11/GSH/GPX4 axis.
