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 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...
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 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 کاملDeficiency of CuZn superoxide dismutase promotes inflammation and alters medial structure following vascular injury.
AIM The anti-oxidant enzyme copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) metabolizes superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) in vascular cells. However, the role of CuZnSOD in vascular injury remains poorly understood. METHODS Using CuZnSOD-deficient (CuZnSOD(-/-)) mice and wild-type (WT) mice, we investigated morphometric changes and the role of O(2)(-) in vascular remodeling after femoral artery injury in...
