Measurement of Superoxide Dismutase-like Activity of Natural Antioxidants

the plasma antioxidant activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme in osteoporosis

osteoporosis is a metabolic disease characterized by reduction in bone density and susceptibility to deformity and fracture. some studies show that osteoblasts can create inter-cellular free radicals that lead to cellular death. superoxide dismutase (sod) plays an essential role in cell defense against reactive oxygen metabolites. the purpose of this study was to measure the plasma sod activiti...

Superoxide dismutase Superoxide dismutase

Salivary 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...

Ligand tuning of single-site manganese-based catalytic antioxidants with dual superoxide dismutase and catalase activity.

A bio-inspired manganese(ii) complex with a linear pentadentate ligand framework containing soft sulfur donors and an alternating NSNSN binding motif displays excellent dual CAT/SOD-like antioxidant activity with high turnover efficiency and good operation stability in an aqueous environment.

Assessment of antioxidants status and superoxide dismutase activity in HIV-infected children.

OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the nutritional status of selenium, copper and zinc; and also the erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity of HIV-infected children compared to a control group. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out with prepubertal HIV-infected children (n=51) and their healthy siblings (n=32). All biochemical measurements including plasma selenium, serum copper...
