Antioxidant enzyme levels in cancer.
Histology and histopathology, 1997 Normal cells are protected by antioxidant enzymes from the toxic effects of high concentrations of reactive oxygen species generated during cellular metabolism. Even though cancer cells generate reactive oxygen species, it has been demonstrated biochemically that antioxidant enzyme levels are low in most animal and human cancers.

Antioxidant enzymes and antioxidants in children with Pneumonia
IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences, 2013 In children pneumonia is a leading cause of death which is characterized by inflammation of the parenchyma of the lung tissue due to infection. Additional risk factors being continuous exposure of lung epithelium to environmental pollutants, microorganisms, resulting into inflammation and increased oxidative stress .Lung tissue are protected from ...

Caeruloplasmin: A Plasma Protein, Enzyme, and Antioxidant [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 1978 Multifunctional roles of the plasma protein, caeruloplasmin, have been briefly reviewed under three main headings. These are protein functions, enzymic activity, and antioxidant protection. As a plasma protein it is said to play a role in the transport of copper.

Targeting antioxidant enzymes as a radiosensitizing strategy
Cancer Letters, 2018 Radiotherapy represents a major anti-cancer modality and effectively kills cancer cells through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, cancer cells are commonly characterized by increased activity of ROS-scavenging enzymes in adaptation to intrinsic oxidative stress, leading to radioresistance.

Role of Antioxidants and Antioxidant Enzymes in Asthmatic Children
Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research, 2016 In children, respiratory system is not completely developed .Continuous exposure to environmental factors, pollutants and various infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria etc, makes the system vulnerable to inflammatory reactions. Epithelial cells, resident macrophages, endothelial cells and recruited inflammatory cells, generate ROS in response to ...
