Increased Serum Cu/Zn SOD in Individuals with Bipolar Disorder
نویسنده
چکیده
Aim: To assess serum Cu/Zn SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) concentration in individuals with bipolar disorder. Subjects and methods: Serum from 20 individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder and 20 age and gender similar controls were tested for Cu/Zn SOD serum concentration using ELISAs. Results: Serum Cu/Zn SOD levels of individuals with bipolar disorder were significantly higher than age and gender matched controls. Discussion: These results suggest an association between Cu/Zn SOD serum levels and bipolar disorder.

متن کاملSignificance of Cu/Zn-Superoxide Dismutase Levels in Hemodialysis Patients: A Mini Review
Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) is an enzyme that is ubiquitously present in the cytoplasm and causes dismutation of superoxide radicals, therefore Cu/Zn-SOD is primarily used as an antioxidant marker. Levels of Cu/Zn-SOD are higher in the serum of hemodialysis patients than in serum of healthy volunteers. The increase of serum Cu/Zn-SOD levels is related to the decrease of kidney functi...

Background and purpose: Ulcerative colitis (UC), a subtype of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), is an immune-mediated chronic intestinal condition. Changes in the copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) concentrations have been reported previously in IBD. Due to controversial results, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare serum and urine levels of Zn and Cu in patients with UC and control group....
متن کاملPrion protein expression and superoxide dismutase activity.
The function of the prion protein (PrPc) remains uncertain. It has been suggested that prion protein expression may aid cellular resistance to oxidative stress by influencing the activity of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn SOD). The activity of Cu,Zn SOD was investigated in mice with different levels of PrPc expression. Increasing levels of PrPc expression were linked to increased levels of C...
