The cytoplasmic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn SOD; SOD-1) is an abundant and well-conserved intracellular antioxidant enzyme which has been implicated in a number of oxidative stress mediated phenomena, especially Down Syndrome, in which SOD-1 activity is increased due to triplication of

EPC-1 (early population doubling level cDNA-1) is a quiescence-specific gene expressed at high levels by early passage WI-38 fibroblasts under conditions of either density-dependent growth arrest or serum deprivation. Late passage WI-38 cells lose the ability to express EPC-1 under all conditions te

Neuroanatomical studies of schizophrenia suggest that progressive neuropathological changes (such as neuronal atrophy and/or cell death) occur over the lifetime course of the disease. Early intervention with atypical neuroleptics has been shown to prevent progression of at least some symptoms, altho
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is hypothesized to mediate embryotoxicity during organogenesis, yet the reactive oxygen species involved are not defined. The superoxide oxygen radical is converted to hydrogen peroxide, a less reactive species, by superoxide dismutases (SODs). If supero
