Superoxide anion production and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in Coxiella burnetii.
Coxiella burnetii was examined for superoxide anion (O2-) production and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. The organism generated O2- at pH 4.5 but not at pH 7.4. The rickettsia displayed superoxide dismutase activity distinguishable from that of the host cell (L-929 mouse fibroblast). Catalase activity was maximal at pH 7.0 and diminished at pH 4.5. These enzymes may account, in pa...
متن کاملIncreased Serum Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase Activities in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Abstract Background and Objective: One of the diabetes complications is the tissue damage caused by the imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants (oxidative stress). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the activity of two antioxidant enzymes -superoxide dismutase and catalase- in the serum of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Material and Methods: This investigation was conduct...
متن کاملLens superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in diabetic cataract.
OBJECTIVE Biochemical evidence suggests that the oxidative damage of the lens proteins is involved in the genesis of senile cataract and the development of diabetes-related pathologic changes such as the formation of cataracts. In particular, lens proteins are subject to extensive oxidative modification. Oxidative damage either decreases the antioxidant capacity or decreased antioxidant capacit...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase and catalase activities in Photobacterium damselae ssp. piscicida.
The ability of a set of Photobacterium damselae ssp. piscicida strains isolated from different fish species to produce different superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase enzymes was determined. Unlike other bacterial pathogens, P. damselae ssp. piscicida is not able to produce different isoforms of SOD or catalase containing different metal cofactors when cultured under oxidative stress induced ...

experimental and epidemiological evidences implicate the involvement of oxygen derived radicals in the pathogenesis of cancer development. oxygen derived radicals are able to cause damage to membranes, mitochondria and macromolecules including proteins, lipids and dna. accumulation of dna damages has been suggested to contribute to carcinogenesis. it would, therefore, be advantageous to pinpoin...
