dismutase

Examples

• All

• All sepsis-causing bacteria produce superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidases (Table 2) that protect them against oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species.

• The manganese and zinc binding protein calprotectin (CP) reduces bacterial superoxide dismutase activity 190,191.

• The superoxide radical is converted to hydrogen peroxide by superoxide dismutase.

• This hypothesis is supported by the discovery of an association between familial MND and mutations in the copper-zinc superoxide dismutase gene on chromosome 21.

  Academic text (2000)

• Glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities were increased to varying degrees, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were reduced (Cao et al., 2008).

  Academic text (2015)

• Superoxide dismutase gene mutations have been detected in a few patients with sporadic MND. However, such mutations were found in only 20% of cases of familial MND.

  Academic text (2000)

• If mutations could be demonstrated in most MND families, and if patients with sporadic MND also prove to have abnormal superoxide dismutase function, new therapeutic strategies with antioxidants might become possible.

  Academic text (2000)

• The mechanism of antioxidants includes the activation of defense enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase, which are responsible for ROS scavenging.

  Academic text (2008)

• Studies showed that the expression of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) was consistently higher in lesional psoriatic skin as compared to uninvolved skin.

  Academic text (2007)

• Superoxide dismutase helps convert harmful superoxide radicals into less damaging molecules in the body.
