Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of two intracellular scavengers of nitric oxide (NO): 1) superoxide dismutase (SOD) (SOD2) to scavenge intramitochondrial superoxide anion, and 2) cytosolic myoglobin (Mb) in the regulation of tissue O2 consumption. O2 consumption was measured in vitro using a Clark-type O2 electrode. SOD heterozygous mice (SODHZ) (n = 13) and SOD wild-type (SODWT) (n = 5)...
