Sera of 146 patients with acute EBV, HAV, HBV, CMV, HSV, and rubella virus infections, and sera from 35 healthy controls were tested for the antioxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). An enzyme immunoassay that detects all isomeres of the enzyme was developed. The mean MnSOD value of

Enzymatic antioxidant defense systems, like superoxide dismutase (SOD), may protect neuronal and glial cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage. Beside the cytosolic constitutive CuZn SOD, mitochondrial manganese SOD (Mn SOD) represents a ROS inducible enzyme which should allow the adaptation
Malignant mesotheliomas (MMs) are pleural-, pericardial-, or peritoneal-based neoplasms usually associated with asbestos exposure. Mesothelial cells are biphasic and may give rise to epithelial and sarcomatous MMs. In addition, benign or atypical proliferations of mesothelial cells may occur in resp
NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblasts were transfected with the cDNA for manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), and two clones overexpressing MnSOD activity were subsequently characterized by comparison with parental and control plasmidtransfected cells. One clone with a 1.8-fold increase in MnSOD activity had
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
