Abstract excerpt
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) controls the availability of extracellular superoxide and appears to play a role in controlling oxidative stress and intercellular signaling. Whether EC-SOD overexpression would help or hinder neurobehavioral function appears to depend on the age of the individual. In young adult mice, we have found that EC-SOD overexpression can interfere with learning on the...
