Effects of human SOD upon heart preservation.

Sad heart from no SOD.

The superoxide dismutases (SODs), which catalyze the dismutation of 2 superoxide anions to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, represent major antioxidant mechanisms in single-cell organisms, plants, bacteria and eukaryotes. In mammalian cells, there are 3 forms of SOD that include the mitochondrial manganese SOD (MnSOD or SOD2), the cytoplasmic SOD that is a copper/zinc-containing enzyme (Cu/Zn SOD ...

Preservation of human islet cell functional mass by anti-oxidative action of a novel SOD mimic compound.

The most commonly used technical approach to isolate human pancreatic islets intended for allotransplants generates a product that is hampered by mechanical and chemical insults, which dramatically reduce the mass of viable and functional transplantable cells. We tested a novel class of antioxidant chemical compounds (SOD mimics: AEOL10113 and AEOL10150) to protect human islets from oxidative s...

effects of contrast media selection upon heart rate and heat sensation during coronary computed tomographic angiography

conclusions compared to iohexol and iopamidol, iodixanol use was associated with a lower patient perception of heat and lower hr while maintaining similar contrast-to-noise and signal-to-noise ratios. results baseline hr was similar across the patients assigned to iohexol, iopamidol, and iodixanol (65.3 ± 9.7, 66.9 ± 10.9, and 65.3 ± 13.3, respectively; p = ns). compared to iohexol and iopamido...
