Superoxide dismutase

Introduction Superoxide dismutase 1, abbreviated as SOD1, is a human enzyme that plays an integral role in the human body, functioning mainly as an antioxidant, clearing free radicals from the body and preventing cell damage and even possibly cell death [6]. This particular enzyme is one of only three in its family in humans [7]. 154 amino acids make up the sequence and the gene itself can be found on human chromosome 21 [9,11]. After having its sequence elucidated, mutations in this gene have

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that alternately catalyzes the partitioning of superoxide anion O2− to convert it to hydrogen peroxide H2O2 and molecular oxygen O2 [79, 80]. SOD plays significant protective roles versus cellular and histological damage that occur by ROS. It facilitates the transformation of superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide H2O2, and in the existence of other enzymes it converts H2O2 to O2and H2O [81]. In mammalian tissues there are three forms of SOD: Cu-Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD

• Basic functions of prunus mume fruit inside the body  The Citric acid present in the plum fruit helps in the absorption of vitamins and enzymes, thus preventing several diseases and reduces fatigue.  Eating plum fruit on a regular basis can stimulate the secretion of parotid gland hormone, which can prevent aging process in humans.  Prunus mume intake increases metabolism and aids in the process of body’s energy restoration functions in a natural manner How the prunus mume fruit should be used

for respiration or oxidation of nutrients to obtain energy. There are some reactive by-products of cellular respiration, derived from molecular oxygen, that are generated continuously in cells grown aerobically, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) superoxide anion radical (O2-), and the highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (•OH).These reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for various functions such as homeostasis and cell signaling but an imbalance in favor of reactive oxygen species results in oxidative

EXPERIMENT 8 Effect of five phosphorus levels (0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 mg P kg-1 soil) on the activity of antioxidative enzymes; superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), Guaiacol peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) on Zea mays plant grown for 45 days in calcareous soils with mycorrhizal (+M) and non- mycorrhizal (-M) treatments. Figure 8 shows the antioxidant (SOD, CAT, APX, POD and GR) activities in mycorrhizal (M) and non-mycorrhizal (NM) plants at different

Its primary function is to act as an antioxidant enzyme, lowering the steady-state concentration of superoxide, but when mutated, it can also cause disease. She graduated from Concordia University and doubled majored in Chemistry and Biology. After graduating from Concordia she went on straight to gradient school instead of taking a year off like most

Manganese History Manganese (symbol Mn) is the fifth most abundant metal in the world. It is not found as a pure element in nature, rather it is bound to oxygen or other elements. Johann Gottleib Gahn, a Swedish mineralogist, is credited as the first person who was able to isolate the metal Mn from the dioxide MnO2. (chemistry explained). Manganese has a great many uses in the industrial world. Manganese is used in the production of iron, steel, dry cell batteries, coins, as an additive
