A microtechnique for determining the superoxide dismutase activity in erythrocytes is described. This technique involves the inhibition of luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence of superoxide anion generated by xanthine-xanthine oxidase. Measurements required a steadystate chemiluminescence whether supe

During the aerobic xanthine oxidase reaction, 0; is produced and accumulates to a steady state determined by a balance between the rate of production of this radical and its rate of dismutation. Addition of ferricytochrome c then results in a biphasic reduction, the very rapid phase of which reflect
A procedure is described for the intact-cell assay of superoxide dismutase(s). The technique involves the use of toluene which renders the cells permeable to the necessary components of a photochemical assay for supcroxide dismutase. Whole-cell superoxide dismutase activities from a number of procar
The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) (SOD) catalyzes the conversion of superoxide anion radical (O2.-) to hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. SOD helps prevent tissue damage by O2.- and its metabolites, and augmentation of tissue SOD is a useful therapeutic strategy in certa
Endogenous interfering substances can be detected by applying the techniques of parallelline analysis of variance to the assay of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in crude tissue extracts. The technique also allows expression of specific activities in terms of units of activity as defined by co
