Transient increase of manganese-superoxide dismutase in remote brain areas after focal photothrombotic cortical lesion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Free radicals including superoxide are responsible for postlesional cytotoxicity. In contrast to the constitutive CuZn-superoxide dismutases (SODs), manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) is inducible and has the potential to protect neurons by its superoxide dismutating activity. Therefore, we studied the presence and the regional changes in Mn-SOD within the brain afte...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase fails to augment brain superoxide dismutase activity in piglets.
We studied the effect of intravenously administered polyethylene glycol-conjugated superoxide dismutase (8,000 units/kg) on brain superoxide dismutase activity in 44 1-2-week-old piglets in the absence and presence of global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Four groups (n = 6 each) of piglets not exposed to ischemia were studied. Enzyme administration increased plasma superoxide dismutase act...
متن کاملExtracellular superoxide dismutase attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced neutrophilic inflammation.
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is an abundant antioxidant in the lung and vascular walls. Previous studies have shown that EC-SOD attenuates lung injury in a diverse variety of lung injury models. In this study, we examined the role of EC-SOD in mediating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung inflammation. We found that LPS-induced neutrophilic lung inflammation was exaggerated in ...
متن کاملLocalization of extracellular superoxide dismutase in adult mouse brain.
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is one of three mammalian SOD isozymes. Although there is knowledge of the functional role of EC-SOD in arteries, little is known about the function of EC-SOD in other tissues, including the brain. As a first step toward improving our understanding of EC-SOD in the brain, we studied the localization of EC-SOD in the central nervous system of the adult...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in the brain of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.
Brain antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) levels were studied in the brains of early diabetic (72 hr) and long term diabetic (one month) rats. Diabetes was induced by injecting streptozotocin (50 mg/kg, i.p.) in citrate buffer. One group of diabetic rats was treated with insulin (1U/day/animal). The results indicate that early diabeti...
