Exposure of mature hippocampal slices to ferrous sulfate resulted in concentration- and time-dependent cell death.
Levels of cytochrome c were increased while levels of pro-caspase-9 and pro-caspase-3 were decreased in cytosolic fractions of iron-treated hippocampal slice cultures.

Toxicol In Vitro. 2009 Mar;23(2):319-32. Epub 2008 Dec 10.

The following nine cytotoxicity parameters were analyzed, cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), caspase-3/7, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alpha-glutathione-S-transferase (alpha-GST).
In the second experiment, HepG2 cells were exposed to doxorubicin, t-butyl hydroperoxide, ferrous sulfate and sulfamoxole for 2 and 24h.
