Because GPX4 is the major PLOOH-neutralizing enzyme, one of the usual molecular mechanisms of erastin and RSL-3-induced ferroptosis is that both compounds inhibit GPX4 activity, except that erastin does so directly, whereas RSL-3 inhibits GPX4 activity by inhibiting cysteine uptake (Shintoku et al., 2017)
This increase in red blood cells can help with muscle weakness, too, since it allows the tissue to recover from exertion much more rapidly
