Aging-dependent alterations in synaptic plasticity and memory in mice that overexpress extracellular superoxide dismutase.
Oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been proposed to be critically involved in several pathological manifestations of aging, including cognitive dysfunction. ROS, including superoxide, are generally considered as neurotoxic molecules whose effects can be alleviated by antioxidant enzymes. However, ROS also are known to be necessary components of the signal transduction ...
متن کاملMice that overexpress Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase are resistant to allergen-induced changes in airway control.
Within the respiratory epithelium of asthmatic patients, copper/zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) is decreased. To address the hypothesis that lung Cu/Zn SOD protects against allergen-induced injury, wild-type and transgenic mice that overexpress human Cu/Zn SOD were either passively sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) or actively sensitized by repeated airway exposure to OVA. Controls...
متن کاملImpairment of long-term potentiation and associative memory in mice that overexpress extracellular superoxide dismutase.
Reactive oxygen species, including superoxide, generally are considered neurotoxic molecules whose effects can be alleviated by antioxidants. Different from this view, we show that scavenging of superoxide with an antioxidant enzyme is associated with deficits in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), a putative neural substrate of memory, and hippocampal-mediated memory function. Using tran...
متن کاملMethamphetamine toxicity is attenuated in mice that overexpress human manganese superoxide dismutase.
We have investigated methamphetamine (MA) toxicity in transgenic mice that overexpress the human form of mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Our results reveal a significant reduction in the long-term depletion of striatal dopamine and protein oxidation following repeated administration of MA in transgenic vs. non-transgenic littermates. These findings support the notion that ...
متن کاملCuZn - 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...
