This study demonstrates that troglitazone has significant therapeutic potential in the treatment of epilepsy by reducing epileptic seizures and the associated brain damage through the inhibition of neuronal ferroptosis. The downregulation of Plaur expression plays a crucial role in TGZ's anti-ferroptotic effect, offering a promising avenue for the development of new epilepsy treatments.
