Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) represents a serious neurological disorder linked to ferroptosis, posing major clinical difficulties. This study investigates the neuroprotective role of formononetin (FMN), a natural antioxidant isoflavone, through its regulation of ferroptosis mediated by the Nrf2 pathway. In vivo , a neonatal mouse HIBD model is used, and FMN is administered alone or with the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. Brain injury is evaluated via histopathological and functional tests....
