Protection against oxygen toxicity by intravenous injection of liposome-entrapped catalase and superoxide dismutase.
Survival of rats exposed to 100% oxygen was increased from 69.5 +/- 1.5 to 118.1 +/- 9.9 h (mean +/- SEM, P less than 0.05) when liposomes containing catalase and superoxide dismutase were injected intravenously before and during exposure. The increased survival time in 100% oxygen was also associated with significantly less fluid in the pleural cavity. Rats injected with catalase- and superoxi...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase and pulmonary oxygen toxicity.
The production of superoxide (O2-) under hyperoxic conditions is markedly accentuated leading to the generation of potent oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (HO.), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), by rapidly removing O2-, reduces the tissue concentration of O2- and prevents the production of HO. and ONOO-. Three forms of SOD exist in the lung: CuZn...
متن کاملOxygen toxicity and the superoxide dismutase.
Oxygen caused an increase in the amount of superoxide dismutase in Escherichia coli B but not in Bacillus subtilis. E. coli B cells, induced by growth under 100% O(2), were much more resistant to the lethal effects of 20 atm of O(2) than were cells which contained the low uninduced level of this enzyme. In contrast, B. subtilis, which could not respond to O(2) by increasing its content of super...
متن کاملProtection of rabbit retina from ischemic injury by superoxide dismutase and catalase.
PURPOSE To provide evidence that free radical damage is a component of postischemic retinal injury; to determine whether antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, can protect the retina from ischemic injury. METHODS Total retinal ischemia for 60 or 75 min was produced in Dutch rabbits by raising intraocular pressure. Retinal recovery was monitored with the electroretinogra...
متن کاملOxygen toxicity in Streptococcus mutans: manganese, iron, and superoxide dismutase.
When cultured anaerobically in a chemically defined medium that was treated with Chelex-100 to lower its trace metal content, Streptococcus mutans OMZ176 had no apparent requirement for manganese or iron. Manganese or iron was necessary for aerobic cultivation in deep static cultures. During continuous aerobic cultivation in a stirred chemostat, iron did not support the growth rate achieved wit...
