## Abstract Superoxide dismutase, an enzyme which catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radical formed during the univalent reduction of oxygen, was quantitated by observing the inhibition of cytochrome C reduction in three cell fractions in guinea pig peritoneal PMNs and monocytes and compared t
Human alveolar macrophages (AM) were demonstrated t o generate reactive toxic derivatives of oxygen in many pulmonary disorders. These cells are involved in local inflammation which characterizes bronchial asthma. In the present work, we studied the ability of stimulated macrophages from healthy vol
The relationship of physical activity and aging, two processes with a high production of oxygenfree radicals to the ascorbate and superoxide anion (Of) contents of peritoneal macrophages was studied in two animal species: guinea-pig (in which ascorbic acid is a vitamin) and mouse (in which ascorbic
