Effect of Superoxide Dismutase

This study assesses the effect of the superoxide anion scavenger superoxide dismutase on myocardial capillary permeability-surface area (PS) products for small hydrophilic molecules after ischemia and reperfusion. Open-chest dogs underwent a 20-minute occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by 1 hour of reperfusion. Myocardial plasma flow rate and capillary extraction...

Subcellular localization of superoxide dismutase in rat liver.

The subcellular localization of superoxide dismutase was investigated in rat liver homogenates. Most of the superoxide dismutase activity is present in the soluble fraction (84%), the rest being associated with mitochondria. No indications for the occurrence of superoxide dismutase in other subcellular structures, particularly in peroxisomes, was found. Mitochondrial activity is not due to adso...

Superoxide dismutase mimetics.

In this review we describe the potential role(s) of superoxide in inflammatory disorders.

Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase

Extracellular-superoxide dismutase is a tetrameric copper-containing glycoprotein that previously has been demonstrated to be the major superoxide dismutase of human extracellular fluids. The occurrence of this enzyme in various human tissues that were removed from two accidental death victims and in 19 different human cultured cell lines was determined. All investigated tissues were found to c...
