Superoxide dismutases clinical significance

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCES OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASES CHANGES IN AGING, DIABETES, ISCHEMIA,... [Pg.1]

Human serum and saliva contain superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase and catalase—antioxidant enzymes that destroy H2O2 and 02 and represent a form of the antioxidant defense against mutagenic factors (Nishioka and Ninoshiba, 1986). Clinical investigations have shown that SOD administration has a significant beneficial effect in cardiac feilure, in which the heart muscle is injured (Fass, 1987). SOD has prospects for application not only in medicine, but also in food industry, where, in combination with catalase and peroxidase, it may be used to prevent oxidation of lipids and other valuable components of food (Taylor and Richardson, 1979). The SOD isolated from certain marine bacteria could be used (Mickelson, 1977) to prevent autooxidation in several test systems. [Pg.237]
