Discordant Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase Expression and Activity in Neonatal Hyperoxic Lung
3 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Antioxidant defenses in the neonatal lung are required to adapt to the oxygen (O(2))-rich postnatal environment, and oxidant/antioxidant imbalance is a predisposition to lung injury when high concentrations of inspired O(2) are used in neonatal lung diseases. The lung's main extracellular enzymatic defense against superoxide, extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), is closely regulated during development. In...
