The trail to superoxide dismutase [PDF]

Protein Science, 1998
City College of New York + Cornell Medical School + Duke. While a youngster, I was enthralled by the miracle of insect metamorphosis and followed the transformations of pet caterpillars to pupae and then to gloriously beautiful butterflies and moths. This led naturally to an interest in biology. but mere description was not totally satisfying.

Manganese Superoxide Dismutase Overexpression Attenuates MPTP Toxicity

Neurobiology of Disease, 1998
There is substantial evidence implicating mitochondrial dysfunction and free radical generation in the neurotoxicity of MPTP. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is the primary antioxidant enzyme protecting against superoxide radicals produced within ...

Catalase, glutathione peroxidase, metabolic syndrome, superoxide dismutase

Majalah Kedokteran Bandung, 2012
Labor pain is part of a normal process, which often causes physiological and psychological stress to mother. These stress have impact to both mother and fetus. Largely (90%) labor comes with pain and in some cases severe pain.

Superoxide dismutase 2 as a marker to differentiate tuberculous pleural effusions from malignant pleural effusions

Clinics, 2014
OBJECTIVES: Our previous study demonstrated that superoxide dismutase levels were higher in tuberculous pleural effusions than in malignant pleural effusions, but that this difference ...

The Copper Chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Copper is distributed to distinct localizations in the cell through diverse pathways. We demonstrate here that the delivery of copper to copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is mediated through a soluble factor identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae LYS7 and human CCS (copper chaperone for SOD).

Superoxide dismutase and neurological disorders

IBRO Neuroscience Reports
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a common antioxidant enzyme found majorly in living cells. The main physiological role of SOD is detoxification and maintain the redox balance, acts as a first line of defence against Reactive nitrogen species (RNS ...

Changes in expression of manganese superoxide dismutase, copper and zinc superoxide dismutase and catalase in Brachionus calyciflorus during the aging process. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Rotifers are useful model organisms for aging research, owing to their small body size (0.1-1 mm), short lifespan (6-14 days) and the relative easy in which aging and senescence phenotypes can be measured.

Superoxide dismutase participation in plant adaptation to herbicides

Vìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Bìologìâ, Ekologìâ, 2005
Antioxidative enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) role in maize grain was investigated under herbicide action. Combinations of Dialen C with Harness, Primextra Gold and Frontier were used. Increasing in SOD activity proved to be a highly sensitive reaction.

Activity of lactate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase in the circulation of patients with breast carcinoma [PDF]

Archive of Oncology, 2008
Background: A rapid increase in the turnover of malignant cells modulates the enzymes level in circulation and may be a prognostic sign of disease progression.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
