Differential Effects of Superoxide Dismutase Isoform Expression on Hydroperoxide-induced Apoptosis in PC-12 Cells

Differential Expression of Mitochondrial Manganese Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in Triticum aestivum Exposed to Silver Nitrate and Silver Nanoparticles

Background: The increasing use of nanoparticles (NPs) may have negative impacts on both organisms andthe environment. Objectives: The differential expression of mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene in wheat in response to silver nitrate nanoparticles (AgNPs) and AgNO3 was investigated. Materials and Methods: A quantita...

Catalase in Lung Cancer Differential Expression of Manganese Superoxide Dismutase

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important in the initiation and promotion of cells to neoplastic growth. In this context, cigarette smoke exposure, the primary risk factor in lung cancer development, leads to high levels of ROS within the human airway. Although well-equipped with an integrated antioxidant defense system consisting of low-molecular weight antioxidants such as glutathione and i...

Enhanced Expression of Superoxide Dismutase

The oxygen free radical system has been reported to be activated by influenza virus infection in the lungs. However, the involvement of oxygen radicals in viral myocarditis is still unknown. Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and potent free radical scavenger with a sulfhydryl group, was effective for the treatment of viral myocarditis, while enalapril, an ACE inhibitor...
