Molecular immunocytochemistry of the CuZn superoxide dismutase in rat hepatocytes
The distribution of CuZn superoxide dismutase (SOD) molecules in subcellular organelles in rat liver hepatocytes was studied using integrated biochemical, stereological, and quantitative immunocytochemical techniques. A known concentration of purified CuZn SOD in 10% gelatin was embedded alongside the liver tissue for the calculation of CuZn SOD concentrations in hepatocyte organelles and total...
متن کاملCuZn-superoxide dismutase, Mn-superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in pancreatic islets and other tissues in the mouse.
Exogenous superoxide dismutase, catalase and scavengers of the hydroxyl radical protect pancreatic-islet cells against the toxic actions of alloxan in vitro [Grankvist et al. (1979) Biochem. J. 182, 17--25]. To test whether the extraordinary sensitivity of islet cells to alloxan is due to a deficiency of endogenous enzymes protecting against oxygen-reduction products, we assayed CuZn-superoxide...
متن کاملCuZn - superoxide dismutase ( CuZnSOD ) transgenic mice show
_, We have used female and male transgenic (Tg) mice that carry the complete sequence of the human copper-zinc (CuZn) , superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene in order to assess the lethal effects of methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and methylene,_ im dioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). In contrast to non-Tg mice, both heterozygous and homozygous SOD-Tg mice showed resistance to the lethal effects of both dru...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase in CSF from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with and without CuZn-superoxide dismutase mutations.
Mutations in CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) have been linked to familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and motor neurone death is caused by the gain of a toxic property of the mutant protein. Here we determined amounts, activity and molecular forms of CuZn-SOD in CSF from ALS patients carrying the D90A and other CuZn-SOD mutations and patients without such mutations. There were no ...
متن کاملCuZn superoxide dismutase deficiency: culprit of accelerated vascular aging process.
Impairment of endothelium-dependent responses is an early landmark of endothelial dysfunction in blood vessels with aging and/or cardiovascular diseases.1 A critical manifestation of endothelial dysfunction is the reduced bioavailability of NO, a key vascular protective molecule and an independent predictor of cardiovascular events.2 Hence, stimuli decreasing vascular NO bioavailability manifes...
