The protective effect of M40401, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, on post-ischemic brain damage in Mongolian gerbils [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Overproduction of free radical species has been shown to occur in brain tissues after ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, most of free radical scavengers known to antagonize oxidative damage (e.g. superoxide dismutase, catalase), are unable

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BLOOD DONATION FREQUENCY, ANTIOXIDANT ENZYMES AND LIPID PEROXIDATION [PDF]
"nIron is a pro-oxidant cofactor that may be linked to atherosclerosis progression. Free iron catalyzes the generation of free radicals and free radicals promote the oxidation of lipids.

Superoxide Dismutases and Superoxide Reductases
Superoxide, O2•–, is formed in all living organisms that come in contact with air, and, depending upon its biological context, it may act as a signaling agent, a toxic species, or a harmless intermediate that decomposes spontaneously. Its levels are limited in vivo by two different types of enzymes, superoxide reductase (SOR) and superoxide dismutase ...

EFFECTS OF LOW-TEMPERATURE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL AGE ON SUPEROXIDE-DISMUTASE IN WATER HYACINTH (EICHHORNIA-CRASSIPES SOLMS) [PDF]
Superoxide dismutase activity in water hyacinth leaves was not sensitive to small changes in environmental pH, but declined markedly with greater pH changes.

Paradoxical roles of antioxidant enzymes:Basic mechanisms and health implications [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are generated from aerobic metabolism, as a result of accidental electron leakage as well as regulated enzymatic processes.

Superoxide DismutasE in Spring Barley Caryopses
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was determined in caryopses of spring barley grown in field trials in 2004–2006. A total set under study included five malting varieties with hulled grain, three waxy hull-less and hulled varieties (of US origin ...

Superoxide dismutase: an evolutionary puzzle. [PDF]
We have obtained the complete amino acid sequence of copper/zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (SOD, superoxide:superoxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.15.1.1) from Drosophila melanogaster. The sequence of this enzyme is also known for man, horse, cow, and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The rate of evolution of this enzyme is far from constant.
