CuZn - 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 کاملDevelopmental and environmental regulation of a bean chalcone synthase promoter in transgenic tobacco.
Regulatory properties of a 1.4-kilobase promoter fragment of the bean chalcone synthase CHS8 gene were examined by analysis of glucuronidase (GUS) activity in transgenic tobacco containing a CHS8-GUS gene fusion. The promoter was highly active in the root apical meristem and in petals, exclusively in those cells of the inner epidermis that accumulate anthocyanins. The gene fusion was only weakl...
متن کاملMolecular 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 کاملSalivary superoxide dismutase activity in the consumers of paan containing tobacco
Introduction:The habit of smokeless tobacco chewing is one of the known risk factors for oral cancer among the residents of southeast of Iran. Most likely, the antioxidant defense system in dealing with free radicals induced paan and prevention of oral cancer is important. In this study, the activity of superoxide dismutase is compared in the saliva of paan consumers and non-consumers. Metho...
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 ...
