It is possible that the protective effects of vitamin D are not produced through scavenging of free radicals or induction of antioxidant enzymes and are instead due to interactions with the vitamin D receptor

Examples of common protective groups include but are not limited to acetamidomethyl (Acm), acetyl (Ac), adamantyloxy (AdaO), benzoyl (Bz), benzyl (Bzl), 2-bromobenzyl, benzyloxy (BzlO), benzyloxycarbonyl (Z), benzyloxymethyl (Bom), 2-bromobenzyloxycarbonyl (2-BrZ), tert-butoxy (tBuO), tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), tert-butoxymethyl (Bum), tert-butyl (tBu), tert-buthylthio (tButhio), 2-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl (2-ClZ), cyclohexyloxy (cHxO), 2,6-dichlorobenzyl (2,6-DiCl-Bzl), 4,4-dimethoxybenzhydryl (Mbh), 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-cyclohexylidene)3-methyl-butyl (ivDde), 4-{N-[1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-cyclohexylidene)3-methylbutyl]-amino) benzyloxy (ODmab), 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp), fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), formyl (For), mesitylene-2-sulfonyl (Mts), 4-methoxybenzyl (MeOBzl), 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-benzenesulfonyl (Mtr), 4-methoxytrityl (Mmt), 4-methylbenzyl (MeBzl), 4-methyltrityl (Mtt), 3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl (Npys), 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofurane-5-sulfonyl (Pbf), 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-chromane-6-sulfonyl (Pmc), tosyl (Tos), trifluoroacetyl (Tfa), trimethylacetamidomethyl (Tacm), trityl (Trt) and xanthyl (Xan)

The experimental observation that GOD treatment enhances glucose clearance in rats and ameliorates systemic inflammation suggests that GOD affects host metabolism by regulating altered gut microbiota

Therefore, SQORs influence on ferroptosis in cancer depends on tumor metabolic demands and the immune microenvironment: it may help tumor cells survive by preventing ferroptosis, or alternatively enhance anti-tumor immunity by permitting some oxidative damage
