## Abstract Glial heme oxygenaseβ1 is overβexpressed in the CNS of subjects with Alzheimer disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Upβregulation of HOβ1 in rat astroglia has been shown to facilitate iron sequestration by the mitochondrial compartment. To determine whether
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that reduces superoxide anion to hydrogen peroxide in cell mitochondria. MnSOD is overexpressed in normal aging brain and in various central nervous system disorders; however, the mechanisms mediating the upregulation of MnSOD under the
