Superoxide dismutase

According to the International Wellness Directory, Zinc is essential for producing SOD, superoxide dismutase, “the most potent antioxidant that your body has.” Zinc is most commonly found in meat and dairy products, and is hard to come by as a vegan, Zinc promotes a healthy immune system, helps with bone formation, and fertility/conception (Sears)…

There are several mechanism in which lead (Pb 2+) leads to an increase in free radicals and decrease in antioxidant enzymes. Lead can bind and inhibit the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and glutathione reductase. The inhibition capability of lead is manifested in the capacity of lead to bind thiol groups of protein and non-protein biomolecules. By binding thiol groups of the antioxidant…

Linum usitassimum is an annual herb belonging to the family Linaceae. The plant is indigenous to west Asia and the Mediterranean. Seed oil of this plant used commercially in the painting and varnishing due to its polymerization properties when exposed to the air and sun light. It is also used as an astringent in fungicidal lotion and an insecticide. Seed oil are reported to rich in essential fatty acids like omega-3- fatty acids (linolenic acid, 35-67%), omega-6- fatty acids (linoleic acid,…

Renal lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured in renal tissue homogenates by the method described by Ellman (1959), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was estimated according to Beauchamp and Fridovich (1971) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was measured according to Flohé and Gunzler (1984) using commercially available diagnostic kits from Biodiagnostic Company, Giza…

Assessment of cardiac oxidative stress Heart homogenates were used to estimate malondialdehyde (MDA) level as one of the main end products of lipid peroxidation (Yoshioka et al., 1979), reduced glutathione (GSH) content (Beutler et al., 1963), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (SOD assay kit, Sigma-Aldrich Co, St Louis, MO, USA) and catalase (CAT) activities (Sinha, 1972). 2.7. Assessment of cardiac inflammation Sera were used to estimate TNF-α concentration using commercially available ELISA kit…

enzymes (P450s) where the metabolism of ZnO NPs by P450 cytochrome is another possible source of ROS [60]. (65) reeeppp Normally, cells are equipped with a variety of antioxidants that serve to counterbalance the effect of oxidants including; superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase, Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and Glutathione GSH. (69) [201] Imbalance in the ROS production and antioxidant defense system results in interference with normal cellular processes and causing cell death. [21].…
